| Pros: | My periods are very regular--start on the same day, same time of day every month. They're also shorter and lighter than when I was taking ortho-cyclen. I've never noticed any moodswings, but I didn't have any problems w/ that on ortho-cyclen either |
| Cons: | I think that it has caused maybe a lower libido-definatley a little drier than before. It doesn't really have any acne benefits for me. However, I'm just a pimple here and there kinda girl. I still get frequent headaches. |
| Bottom Line: | I started this because I was told it could decrease the number and severity of headaches I get. I don't think it did either. Since I'm on prescriptions for my headaches now, I'm thinking about finding a different birth control. Also, my supplier is not going to carry mircette much longer, so I guess I don't have a choice about the switch. lol. Overall, I have had the same effects as when I was on Ortho-cyclen, except it has shortened my periods a bit--having one less day of period is quite a bit better, though. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Katie has used this item for about a year. |

I've been taking Mircette for almost 3 weeks. I took Alesse for quite a few months in 2004 and it cleared me up to "a pimple here and there." I'm noticing the same with Mircette, slowly but surely, as I expected, it's clearing my skin up. My weight has been the exact same (I always fluctuate 5 pounds like every couple days, from 90-95 so I guess I should get that checked out.) Anyway, I've had no mood problems. I'm worried about the comments about migranes, because I haven't used Mircette through a period yet, so I'm not looking forward to that if it happens. There's a slight chance it may have slowed my libido a bit, but I'm not complaining. Anyway, I'm satisfied so far, I can completely tell that I'll soon not have to be ashamed to leave the house with my skin, again. I'm looking forward to that :).
