"i&#039;ve been taking microgestin fe going on 2 years now and i think it is the best. at first taking it i noticed spotting in between my period for only 2 months but after that my period has gone away completely, which is common for anyone who had light periods prior to microgestin. i haven&#039;t gained any weight except in my butt and i went from a b to a c. i haven&#039;t had any emotional or sex drive changes but there is are two major downsides to the medication. 1. i have never had more than 5 pimples on my entire life, and now i get pimples readily. also, since the estrogen levels are high, i have experienced more yeast infections. i am sexually active and have never missed a pill, and not one scare. so overall, very effective!!"
