I been on microgestin fe only on first pack of week two&have had leg cramps too.when i get them,they feel worse than my restless leg syndrome.i dont have every day but i do have 2 days a week.i have problems falling asleep anyway but now i want to sleep almost all the time.No sex drive at all now.Whats the point in being on birth control,I say if you cant even feel in the mood.my purpose was so my partner didnt have to use condoms anymore but now with no sex drive he my as well use them condoms anyhow.anyone know of anything that dont mess with sex drive?

I have leg cramps too. I am 48. I am going off of this pill. I think I would rather have normal menopause and irregular periods than to experience nightmares, leg cramps, and irritability. Not to mention fear of a blood clot.
