Is anybody on Mircette? How do you like it? What kind of side effects have you noticed? Have you had any weight gain/loss?

I just got a new prescription to Mircette and what to know how others like it.

thanks so much for your info :-)

I really appreciate it.

hi boosclues,

i have tried Mircette and personally have not liked it because of the side effects. for me they were: intense carb cravings, hunger, weight gain, water retention, moodiness, acne.

i know this sounds like anightmare but don't be scared because i have a girlfriend who has been on it for years and LVOES it. she even lost 60 pounds while she was on it and looks better than ever.

so it may be a good choice for you - only way to find out is to try.

:-)

I was on Mircette for a year and i really didn't like it. I gained a bunch of weight, i was moody and i still had REALLY painful periods. The funny thing is that i didn't realize I was having side effects untill i switched pills (well other then the cramps).

I do know quite a few people that are on it and like it though. It's also pretty cheap which is always good. Good Luck!
