I'm taking Apri (generic form of Desogen) and it is .15mg desogestrel and .03mg ethinyl estradiol per tablet. The first month on this bcp I had breast tenderness, a bit of an acne flare up, and some pretty bad mood swings (mainly a lot of random crying.) After that first month, all those side effects disappeared. This pill has helped with my PCOS symptoms so much. I can't say enough about it. Oh, and as for my side effects: I hadn't been on any form of hormonal contraceptive for years so I think it was the sudden appearance of hormones in my body that made me so moody.
