"i have been on and off taking birth control pills. i started microgestin fe 1/20 about 4 months ago. and ever since i have had a lot of rough mornings with nausea and headaches. it helped clear out my cystic acne; but i have gained dramatically 10 lbs within 4 months and that wasn&#039;t funny! more like a devastating realization. every woman is different and i had read these reviews before taking it. i guess you wont really know until you try it. that&#039;s how you know whats best for you and i found that microgestin fe 1/20 is not for me. hope this is helpful!"
