"i am 5 month postpartum and started taking this pill a couple of months ago.  i had lost 15lbs of my baby weight before starting this pill.  after taking microgestin fe 1/20 i gained back 10lbs in the first month.  i eat right and exercise 3 times a week and also take my son on walks everyday.  i should be losing weight and so far after gaining back the 10lbs the scale will not budge.  it made my breasts larger and actually gave me pregnancy symptoms which i was not a fan of.  i have completely lost my sex drive and motivation for anything.  my husband has noticed a change in my moods and asked if i&#039;d consider changing birth control because he wants the old me back.  i&#039;m completely frustrated with the weight gain."
