"i&#039;ve been on microgestin fe 1/20 now for a little over 2 years. i haven&#039;t gotten my period since i started taking it. my doctors don&#039;t know why but don&#039;t seem to be too alarmed. i noticed i am emotional and i have the urge to cry about the silliest of things. i don&#039;t think it has made me gain weight, if so no more than 5 pounds.
