First, thanks to everyone for the advice in my first post! The exam was somewhat painful but not as bad as I imagined... glad that is over with. My doctor was so friendly and really talked me through everything. She said everything looked and felt normal (relief) and prescribed a pill called Mircette. Has anyone ever taken it? I followed your suggestion and asked her to tell me a little about it and why it would be a good choice for me. She said it is very low dose and very safe. And she said for her patients it has had good bleeding control and should make my periods very light. I can't wait to start! Knowing my body it won't be long before my period comes again :)

Mircette was actually the first birth control pill I was ever on. I had the usual side effects the first few months, irregular bleeding being the main one, but after that, I had no issues with bleeding.

Overall my experience on Mircette was fine. I didn't gain any weight (I actually lost weight), my sex drive didn't change much either. I ended up swtiching pills after a year due to some mood issues, but I think it was a great pill to start out on.

Good Luck!
