birth control
"Before getting on Microgestin Fe 1/20, I was on Yasmin.  I never had any problems with Yasmin, although my period was slightly heavier than desirable.  I have been on Microgestin now for four months and literally go through 2 full period cycles in a row each month.  It is awful and inconvenient.  My doctor actually put me on the pill because of the reports of shorter periods.  I know that all bodies react differently, but be cautious of this problem, if you do not want to chance it.  I have also experienced severe mood swings, but I cannot discredit it regarding actual birth control.  Just remember to take it at the same time, daily."
