"i have been on microgestin fe 1/20 for a year and a half. and the first year i was not sexually active and i used only to regulate my period. (my cramps used to be so excruciating that i would have to stay home.) not only did this pill make my period much lighter and manageable cramps, i also have had no pregnancy scares! me and my partner are very sexually active and i have had no worries about being pregnant. everything is always on track. highly recommend this to any woman struggling with heavy periods companied by horrible cramps or is sexually active."
