What Are The Side Effects Of Micro Ed Pill?

Hi I am on Micro Ed pill atm & find I am tired a lot more & also no sex drive, plus I have been exercising & eating healthy for the last 6 weeks & yet don t seem to be losing any weight. When I was on the Levlen pill I didn t find I had any problems losing weight when I started regular exercise & healthy eating I am concerned the Micro Ed pill is causing these problems

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Micro Ed pill contains ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel. It is a type of hormonal contraception.
The usual side effects it could produce include: Nausea, vomiting, Abdominal pain, Headache/migraine, Breast tenderness and enlargement, Weight changes, Vaginal thrush, Change in menstrual bleeding, Depression, and Decreased sex drive.
Some of these symptoms are what you are experiencing.
Levlen pill also contains same composition of levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol.
Since both of them are combination birth control pills, if you find that Levlen pill what you were using to be more comfortable, you can change to it from next cycle onwards.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
