Hey ladies...some very useful info u have on here but just wondering if anyone has had this problem im currently going through...so i started using microlite 4months ago and just started my 5th pack today...had a shortened preiod after the first pack-went down to 3 days from 5days and now the problem is for the last 2months instead of a 5day cycle it seems to go on for longer say abt 7 days...not the normal flow though for the extra 2 days as always only discover it after sex i.e the flow might aswell be non-existant. Figured its an extension of my period coz i dnt get it any other time...just wanted to see if its something common before i ran to the doc. Cheers:o

You hav 7 pill free days and you take it the day after the 7 days. For example if you take your last pill on a Thurday then you have a 7 day break and start again the following Friday

I'm starting Microlite soon, just wondering has anyone experienced weight gain? And has it helped skin problems?

As I've just said in another thread, every pill affects every woman differently. If you have concerns, go to your GP and discuss alternatives.

read the leaflet which came with your pill, if you haven't got one ask your pharmacist for one, or have a chat with your GP

I cannot fathom why some women take the pill when they have absolutely no idea how it works! I mean why not ask your GP these questions when he/she is prescribing it for you?!! Surely its the first thing you'd ask?

Yes you take it even if the period isn't finished. I've basically done all the pills. I've been on Yasmin (made me miserable), Microlite (screwed up my skin bigtime), and then this other one beginning with an M that made me nauseous. Now I'm on dianette and its really good.

Microlite is quite simple. Take it for 21 days, take a break for 7 days. Start again. This is all outlined in the leaflet that comes with the pill.

When you've been taking it for a few months, your periods should fall into line with this pattern.

If you have any further questions, please get in touch with your GP or pharmacist.
