Mircette

Mircette

Mircette is a combination birth control pill that contains ethinyl estradiol and desogestrel. It’s designed to prevent pregnancy and may also help regulate periods, reduce cramps, and treat acne. Mircette has a unique hormone schedule with low estrogen days, which may reduce hormone-related side effects like headaches or mood changes.
What makes Mircette different from other combination pills?
Mircette has a distinct dosing schedule — it includes two days of very low estrogen pills instead of placebo pills. This steady hormone approach may help minimize side effects related to hormone drops, like migraines or mood swings.
Yes. Many people use Mircette not just for birth control but also to regulate their cycle and reduce acne, thanks to its hormone combination.
If you miss one active pill, take it as soon as you remember and continue your pack as normal. Missing more than one may require backup contraception — check the instructions in your pack or ask your provider.

Answers to your birth control questions

Can Reversible Birth Control Impact Future Fertility?
Reversible methods like the pill, patch, or IUD are designed to prevent pregnancy temporarily — not permanently. Once you stop using them, your fertility typically returns to what’s normal for you. Most people can begin trying to conceive shortly after stopping birth control.
