Hey,
I am in a serious relationship with my boyfriend and he suggested it would probably be a good idea if i took the pill. I have never been on the pill before, but i thought it would be a good idea as i often experience heavy and painful periods. My GP said I would need to take Mycrogynon 50, which is a higher dose as its effectiveness is reduced when taking tegretol. I have done some reading on the medication, and the possible side effects sound a little concerning. Alot of women report mood swings, irritability, feeling highly emotional.....among other things such as nausea and weight gain. Naturally these things are concerning to anyone, but I am already struggling with my moods as it is.
Is there anyone who is taking this pill? Any advice welcomed :)
