User Reviews for Microgestin Fe 1.5/30

Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 (ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone) for Birth Control: I was on this pill for only a month, when I started to notice that I was having problems wearing my contact lenses, which I never experienced before. By the end of the day my eyes were red. I was taking Orth Tri Cyclen a couple years before and never had any problems. But with this pill by the end of the month I had experienced a real bad headache, sharp stomach pains, and vision problems. My vision on my left eye started getting blurry and I felt pressure on my eye as well. This side effect even continued while wearing my glasses. So I was freaking out because this is my vision we're talking about. So I stopped taking this pill and within two days my vision was back to normal and I can wear my contact lenses again, without any discomfort.

Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 (ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone) for Birth Control: I had slight decrease in Libido. Nice light periods. Cleared up my acne slightly - I have cystic acne. No noticeable weight gain. I do wear contacts, no trouble with those. Overall I was happy with it. Was on since I was 15/16 years old for about nine years straight. Switching to Yaz to see if that helps better with my acne.

Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 (ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone) for Acne: I have cystic acne and it helped slightly

Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 (ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone) for Birth Control: I have been on this dosage for about 6 months. 2 positives, 1. I didn't get pregnant. 2. Very light periods lasting 2-3 days. Negatives. I get bad cramps (I didn't get any while on the Depo Provera shot or before birth control). I get mild acne the last 2 weeks out the month. Mood swings that I never experienced before. Tender breasts. And worst of all, my sex drive died! When I do force myself to be with my boyfriend, I'm too dry to enjoy it. My boyfriend and I are not happy. I will be starting Microgestin Fe 1/20 next week.

Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 (ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone) for Birth Control: It seems to work well, but I noticed a more tired feeling with it during my first period and my cramps were worse.
