Introduction
i went on microlite at the age 19 and it was the 1st pill i ever tried. was at my uni doctor and mentioned it 2 him and he straight away prescribed microlite, without checking my blood pressure or anything. i was on it 4 about 6 months.
Good Points
prevented pregnancy
periods came same day every month
easy to swallow
no weight gain
not many side effects
Bad Points
my periods became v.heavy whereas b4 the pill they had been relatively normal
periods usually lasted 6 days
had a few scary moods....where i felt like i had psychiatric problems...felt like i was going crazy, was convinced i was ugly and took alot out on my boyf
got upset over sily things like make up not looking right
The Verdict
overall it wasnt a bad pill, after telling my doc that my periods were long and heavy she switched me 2 marviol which was an absolute bloody nitemare, literally couldn't leave the house for 6 days cos eriods were so heavy. am about to start taking cilest but not v.optimistic about it as ive read lots of bad reviews on here bout it!!
