Hey!
I've just started taking Microgynon 30 and was sort of expecting side affects straight away. But I haven't had any so far. I was sure I would feel sick or different or something!
If you take the pill how long did it take for you to get any side affects? If you got any!!
Ta!

Hopefully you won't get any side effects though. :thumb:
My gynae told me that's why I got the sickness... and occasionally get sickness after being on a break.
I haven't had the weight gain side affects though. The only one I was kind of hoping for.
it did wonders for my skin though
I thought it was meant to have the opposite effect, but not for me
That's the only symtons i have apart from being a bit emotional during the break, unless that's just a coincidence.
Prehaps you should talk to your doctor about that. If you've never had period pains before and then start getting them it sometimes means somethings not quite right and might be worth checking it out?
Some people react, some don't - it's pot luck really.
i was on the same as you for a year and a half with no noticeable side affects but decided to come off it last month.
When i went to the doctors about something some other time i mentioed it to her and she just kinda laughed and said it was unfortunate, i was kinda hinting if you change it will it help but nothing was said so i left it at that.
Hmm OK... Just keep an eye on it. Doctors aren't always quick on the uptake with gynae problems. On the other hand it's probably nothing. Just make sure you don't completly dismiss it.
Hey!
I've been looking into the pill for a while and most of the info I found were peoples bad experiences! So I was just expecting it.
But so far so good, i've had spotting pretty much everyday but that seems to be going now! And my boobs have got a bit bigger! YAY!
Thanks. What was you thinking could be wrong if anything?
I just thought period pains were something everyone went through at that time of the month and there would be nothing to worry about.
Maybe next time i have to go to the doctors for some reason or another i should just be forward with it and say look i get really bad pain at that time of the month, there any chance of changing my pill or will it not make a difference.
Well if you've been stressed at all that kind of thing can have a bad affect on periods and cause more pain... In which case there are lots of things you can do besides trying different pills to calm them down.
But if it's not that then loads of different gynae problems can cause more pain. I'm not a doctor or anything and don't want to put ideas in your head because it could be nothing. I just think it's always sensible to get stuff checked out if your norm has changed... gynae problems can often be dismissed because it's so common to get period pains; it's just keeping an eye out for if things change from how they usually are; so yeah I'd mention it to your GP next time and see what they say. It's really annoying if the pains get bad enough to affect your normal day to day activities anyway (if they are that bad?) and they could help you find a way to lessen them even if nothing in particular is causing it.
