"i switched from lo loestrin fe to microgestin fe 1/20 since my new insurance did not cover lo loestrin. after being on the med for only 2 months, i began to get unusual headaches,  unusual cramping, and constant spotting. 

one day, i had blurry vision and my mom suggested i check my blood pressure with her &quot;at home blood pressure kit.&quot; my blood pressure was 140/89 !! i dont have a history of high blood pressure and it does not run in my family. i eat fairly healthy and i am 28 yrs old , 125 pounds, 5&#039;2.

i read my microgestrin packet which said that it may raise your blood pressure. i immediately stopped the medication. after about 4 weeks, my blood pressure was back to normal.

keep an eye on your blood pressure when using this medication"
