I have a question for you about micrette. I was given two months worth
of samples of the pill and then was switched to kariva b/c it is much
cheaper. However, each month when I start a new pack, for the first
week I experience a great deal of nautiousness. I was wondering if you
experienced this as well and if you did, do you still? And since the
doctors here don't give the most informative answers, I thought I'd ask
someone who would know from experience. Also, in my experience, kariva
seems to be exactly the same as micrette.
