"i am 20 years old, and this was my first method of birth control. after reading so many horrible reviews, i was very nervous and scared about taking this pill, but now going on my third month of taking microgestin fe 1/20 i can only say how much i love it! i have not had any side effects. so remember everyone is different, therefore our bodies will react differently. don&#039;t be completely influenced by all the bad reviews, just give it a try! good luck."
