"i had previously been on orthotricyclen lo for over a decade before trying something new. i loved ortho lo, but my insurance didn&#039;t cover it anymore. i&#039;ve been on microgestin fe 1/20 for 3 packs now and i can&#039;t say i love it. with my previous pill i had no breast tenderness, acne problems, and always got my period like clockwork. now on microgestin, my boobs hurt constantly. so painful i can&#039;t even wear a bra, but they&#039;re not getting bigger. acne flares up around week 2. my biggest complaint is that i have not gotten a period on this pill. some people might think  opposite  of me, but i want a period. anyways, my dr said wait it out to the end of the pack and if my symptoms don&#039;t subside that she&#039;ll switch me to aleese."
