"i started taking microgestin about a year and a half ago. i&#039;ve never taken any birth control before this. the first couple months i either missed my period or had little to no bleeding. as the months went by my period started to actually feel like a period and what i mean by that is light bleeding but last a few days. i&#039;ve noticed i feel tired and hungry more often then before. put on a few pounds breasts, felt sore. i broke out with horrible acne when i had to double up on the pill.
