"i have been on microgestin since october of 2009. what i have noticed is that with every hair washing i would pull out lots and lots of hair from my head. at the same time my chin hairs has gotten lighter and i don&#039;t have to pluck as often (my facial hair was always a real problem - it was dark and stubby and right under my chin). since being on this birth control, it has gotten softer, lighter, and less noticeable--but i&#039;m going bald. also, i seem to be depressed a lot and have very little energy and overall good feeling. i seem agitated a lot and raise my voice more often.
