Hi all, anyone have experience with the pill Mircette? (I might have the spelling off.) My gynecologist just prescribed it but I haven't gotten it filled yet.

I've never been on any birth control before. My fiance and I are getting married March 2008--we're not planning on becoming sexually active until we're married, but I wanted to start the pill now to make sure I like it, and to have time to switch to something else and try other types if I needed to, etc. I also wanted it because I've been having really bad acne breakouts lately.

Is there anything I should know, any side effects that any of you experienced? Any positive or negative experiences with it? I'm currently on medication for migraines--my gynecologist has promised me the pill won't interact with my migraine medication, and vice versa, but she did tell me the pill could make my migraines worse, which concerns me.

Thanks much :)

I avoided posting but it doesn’t look like you got much response. Lots of women love Mircette, but it was not the best pill for my body. I was moody and had vaginal dryness. I need more estrogen than Mircette provides.

Of course, every body is different. I hope it works out very well for you, but don’t give up if it doesn’t turn out to be great for you.

There are lots of other options too.
