"i have been on microgestin  for about a year now and i love it. in the beginning i messed up my pills and kept taking the white pills ( the active ones) so i didn&#039;t get my period for about 3 months but once i realized i messed up, i went to the doctor and just worked it out. i am not getting my period regularly , they are very light, even though i never really have had heavy periods before. no pregnancy. i don&#039;t think it has helped with my acne at all, but i did gain some weight (5-7 pounds or so) so far i am happy with it, but my insurance is starting to cover junel fe, not sure if i&#039;m going to start taking it or not, after reading some reviews  i&#039;m nervous  about it."
