Microgestin

Microgestin

Microgestin is a combination birth control pill that contains ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone. It’s designed to prevent pregnancy and also helps regulate menstrual cycles, reduce period cramps, lighten bleeding, and improve acne. Microgestin is available in different dosages, offering flexibility based on your body’s needs. It’s a widely prescribed option for reliable, everyday contraception.
What are the benefits of taking Microgestin besides pregnancy prevention?
Along with reliable birth control, Microgestin can help make your periods more regular, lighter, and less painful. It may also reduce acne and lower your risk of ovarian cysts.
If you start Microgestin on the first day of your period, it works immediately. If you start at any other time, use backup protection (like condoms) for the first 7 days.
Yes, Microgestin comes in different dosage levels like 1/20, 1.5/30, and others. Your provider will help choose the right one for your body based on your medical history and preferences.

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.
