User Reviews for Aygestin oral

I have been on this med for 5 years starting with 10 mg/day. Spotted for first year but my horrible headaches and massive bleeding stopped. Decreased dosage over time to 2.5 mg/day - no perceptible change in how I feel. No side effects. I feel better now at 54 than I did at 35 when all of this started.

I started aygestin on sunday, december 13th due to irregular periods. starting on monday, december 14th, I started staining and it hasn't stopped since. I ended my 21 day cycle on sunday, january 3rd. I am still staining. will the staining ever stop? I am starting my next cycle of it on sunday

I have been taking this medication (along with the Lupron shot); for 6 months to help treat endometriosis. My bleeding has stopped completely, but some of the side effects have really bothered me. I had migraines the first couple months, but they did go away. The biggest side effects are the fatique, muscle aches, and low sex drive.

I take this pill at night and the only thing it doesnt tell you on the side effect.. Is night sweat I thought i was going thru premature menopause but I am not..

I am thinking of taking the Aygestin with Lupron shots to help with the severe pain from Endometriosis, anyone out there have any eperience w/ this?

I have been on aygestin two months now because of not having a period and PCOS. Three days after going off of it the first month, I had a period. My period lasted a normal 5 days with normal flow. I am taking it for the second month right now. The drug has worked well for me, but the convenience isn't the best. You have to understand your cycle and when to start/stop the pill. My gyno reccomends starting day 16 unless you are wanting to get pregnant then start day 18 to give extra time for conception while you are still in the ovulation period. Read More Read Less

I have used this drug in the past with no problems. Only this time around my period still hasn't started. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have PCOS and am trying to get pregnant in order to get some testing done I have to have a period. I am wondering if other medicine I was taking affected this medicine from working properly.

Ive been on this for the last few weeks to helping the lining of my uterus become thinner to prepare for an upcoming surgery to remove a paulop they found. I wasnt told it was gonna stop my period from coming. Not a happy camper. Ive gained weight, more breakouts, cant wait to stop taking it. :-(

have been taking for a week.stopped bleeding within a day.Before never new when i was going to have period. Has caused anemia which i have to get shots for.Only thing worried about what happens after quit taking

Not 100% sure but starting this medication was the only thing that changed prior to my stroke. I have no family history, normal cholesterol, BP, etc. I started taking this in late November of 2008 and had my stroke on December 6, 2009. Teams of doctors have tried to determine a cause - I am 42 years old.

I have had a period for the past 2 MONTHS! Some days light(mini pad) & others HEAVY. Gets worse if I stop taking it. Regret ever starting it.

I've experienced nausea and dizziness taking this medicine for menopausal symptoms.

I'm taking this medication after being on Lupron for some time for treatment of endometriosis. I'm an avid runner and eat healthy however I've noticed about a 10 pound weight gain after only being on this medicine for 1-1/2 months. In addition, I've noticed mild mood swings. However, I have had zero pain and zero bleeding.

This drug has made it possible to avoid having a hysterectomy for a few more months by stopping my abnormal bleeding. However, my fibroids compound the problems and the Aygestin does not slow or shrink their growth.

i was given this medication for abnormal growth in my uterus. I have had no or a very slight period since taking this medication. I can only take 1/2 of the 5 mg prescribed as I get side effects that scare me. The 1/2 per day seems to be ok. I will be off these soon.

keep an on on bloodpressure i have never had a problem with it befor but this medicine can make it slightly elevated

The only side effect I have experienced so far is the mood swings which I had prior to taking this medication due to the Lupron shots. It stopped my heavy bleeding within 2 days.

My doctor has me taking 5mg twice a day to prepare for an endo ablation. This drug has caused depression, anxiety, weight gain, acne, bloating, headaches. I have taken myself off of it and will consult my Dr.

I take this medication once a day everyday and it has changed my life immensley. I have been on it for 3.5 years and I am very, very happy with the results
