Anyone taking microgynon (the pill)?

Hi. I've been taking microgynon since January and I'm always so tired and feel dizzy. I'm very petite and I feel bloated but in the morning I have a flat stomach. I have a feeling it could be the pill. Just wondering, does anyone else take this pill and have you had any side effects? Or which pill/other contraceptive do you use and would you recommend? Thanks.

I took this briefly and was awful, felt exactly the same. Huge weight gain (not sure if the pill is to blame or my continual snacking) Periods were heavier too! I am now on implanon (in your arm), no longer have periods, any dizzy spells, bloating, and another positive being you don't need to remember the pill daily!
