Hello Ruby friends! I have been on the pill, microgestin, for 4 years now. I started early on it due to the fact I had horrible periods and cysts that would block in my ovaries. Now I take the pills to not have babies of course he he HOWEVER, I am getting pretty tired of having to take it every night at a certain time in order for it to be effective. Also I hate the hormones involved with it. So I am on the lookout for a new birth control. A birth control that has unfortunately a low dose of hormones to control cyst growth, is non abortive and doesn't have a timer on my phone for 10:00 every night for the rest of my life :)
