Hi girls,
My doc put me on aygestin 2 months ago. I am happy to say that I have
had no major problems on it. I have exhausted all other options so
maybe it is mental. You never know. He also gave me a water pill and
convinced me to take prozac to help with the depression. He also
started me out with only 2.5 mg. and then the next month upped it to 5
mg. I haveto say that I did have major pains where my ovaries are on
both sides. They called me into the office to be checked and they came
up with nothing. I did not ovulate, I was not pregnant. So they chalk
it up to adhesions forming again. So that could have been caused by the
aygestin. Good luck.

However, I have developed problems with my kidneys beginning six months ago. It is hard for me to believe that this doesn't have something to do with the aygestin. I want to know if anyone else has taken aygestin and if they have had any type of kidney problems. Thank you so much for your help.
