"i&#039;ve been taking microgestin fe for 3 months now. the first two there were no really bad side effects except some acne and heavy flow with nasty cramps that i was assured would go away by month three....absolutely not. month three has been the worst.....i break out all the time when i never used to get pimples, i feel nauseous and pukey all day every day, no food sounds or tastes good, i have back pain and lower abdominal pain, i&#039;m bloated and swollen, and i&#039;ve gained almost 8 pounds!!! this is absolutely miserable"
