I've been on microgynon 30 for about 4 months now, the doctor changed me onto them. I've had really bad skin, lower abdominal pains, tender breasts, periods heavier than before. Has anyone else experienced these or any other problems??

unfortunetly your symptoms all sound hormonal & side effects of microgynon 30 which may settle once your body is used to microgynon.
go back to your dr or family planning advisor if your unhappy,they should be able to prescribe a pill with a different hormone level.
check out the link below as its the patient information leaflet that should be given to you with your pill packets. it explains all the possible side effects - section 5.
hope it levels out soon for you.

Hey im on this too, when i first started taking it, my muscles felt sore and achey and my breasts were tender, i also had headaches, but after about 6 months, i had no more side affects & ive been on it for about 2 years now and ive never had anything since.
It can take a good few months to get used to it, just take painkillers if its too bad. If after a few more months nothings improving then maybe go back and change it?

my skin is maybe just as it was before, when i had the first period i had worse pains than usual, i am about to go onto the second "period" and having a few pains lower abdominal and i have really bad mood swings and cry really easily but i did not before i started mircrogyn 30. My period didnt last for as long and wasnt as heavy but i will have to see what this one is like. differnt people react differently to different pills though

Choice of pills is a bit random I am afraid and the symptoms you describe are not unusual. I usually give a pill no more than a 3 month trial, if after that time the patient is unhappy, it is time for a change.

sometimes people react differently to different pills. I've noticed that im waaaay more depressed than i used to be, ever since being on the pill. which is weird!?! not experienced what you have though...go and see your doctor they will put you onto a pill that is better for you personally.
