Oh gosh yes I am head strong, but I becoming a little more humanistic lately ?

I don't consider a risk from microgest ,

But what research have you undertaken to reassure yourself of this?

See:

What side effects could I experience?
Common side effects of MICROGEST include headache, tiredness, breast tenderness, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, joint pain, acne, bloating and mood changes. MICROGEST may cause sensitivity to sunlight in some people. Try to avoid the sun (including UV lamps) or protect yourself from the sun.

MICROGEST may also cause drowsiness or dizziness. If you feel dizzy or drowsy, do not drive or take part in any activity in which you need to be alert.

Alert your doctor if any of these side effects are severe or refuse to go away.

Some side effects may be serious although they are not common. Alert your doctor quickly if you experience:

- swelling, pain or tenderness in the calf of your legs
- difficulty breathing or chest discomfort
- unexplained severe headache or migraine
- changes in your vision
- numbness of the arms or legs or over one side of your body
- swelling or tenderness in the abdomen
- darkening of your urine
- yellowing of the whites of your eyes or skin


"swelling, pain or tenderness in the calf of your legs" with no explanation of what it might mean! Thrombosis? Deep Vein Thrombosis? What?

Look up Edward deBono's 6 thinking hats. I'm the black one!

but certainly the other kind
