"i have been on microgestin fe 1/20 for a couple of months now, and it&#039;s absolutely fantastic! i switched after 6 months of lo loestrin, which caused me to gain 10  pounds, constant spotting, and worse acne. with microgestin, my periods are actually regular, and even lighter. i had horrible cramps that i used to have to miss school and work because of, and now, they&#039;re almost nonexistent! zero weight gain, i&#039;ve actually lost 7 pounds, and my acne is gone! love this pill!"
