I have been on Mircette for over a year and a half. I'm 54, in good health and work out. Never smoked but heart disease runs in my family. I've never had any problem with moods etc. My Dr. put me on the medication to regulate my periods, hot flashes and help me get through menopause. I like the fact my periods are lighter and predictable. Lately I've had pain in my legs, like maybe my deep veins and severe cramps in my thighs and feet. It was just at night now I'm having the pain during the day. I am so afraid of a stroke, heart attack, or blood clots. Does anybody know if this could be a blood clot? My Dr. says that I'm not going to have any problems because it is such a low dose. Any comments from anyone?

Went off of Yasmine because it made me so nervous, shaky, and intense. I felt like I was having a panic attack. I went on mircette for a few days and that seemed better, but was starting to bloat up after only 5 days. Quit for 2 months and adeno came back fiercely and went on Mircette again since it didn't make me nutso like the Yasmine. Have been on five days and hands, feet and legs are numb. Couldn't sleep last night as was so numb. Really scary feeling. I'm just going to have to find another way to deal with the adeno. Disgusted with our lack of choices. Hormones obviously are not worth it. Don't feel like having a heart attack or stroke in my 30's.
