"this was the very first pill i was prescribed and stayed on it for 3 years. i decided to try something new and switched to a different pill. needless to say i&#039;m switching back. when on microgestin fe 1/20 i experienced relatively no side effects besides a few pounds of weight gain and my breasts grew about 2-3 cup sizes. my skin was perfect and no nausea, depression, or painful periods. the pill was very effective in preventing pregnancy didn&#039;t have 1 scare in the 3 years i was using it. when i first started the pill probably around month 6 i did experience a decreased sex drive but it returned within about a month or two. overall, i would highly recommend this pill!"
