Hi

I've just started back on Microgynon after five years off for Dc/breastfeeding and I really don't think it's agreeing with me! I started taking it with my period, bled for longer than usual, and have been feeling nauseated and even vomited on one occasion. I've now started bleeding again and still feel crappy (sicky, moodswings) during the day even though I've been taking it in the evening. I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this & it calmed down or whether I should just go back to the doctor now?

I've just gone back on the Yasmin pill and am feeling pretty crappy, bled for the last week of taking the pill, quite heavily and now I have my 7 day break period too again quite heavy, thought it was strange cos the pill usually makes my periods lighter but I suppose you have to give it a month or so to settle in, body had to get used to the hormones etc so I'd say seeing the doctor won't do any harm but that maybe they will tell you the same , pre dc I never had any major issues with pill but I suppose our bodies have changed now that we've had children

Microgynon makes me ragey! And tired. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole now.

Me too, it works as a contraceptive though, as no one will come near you...
