i am currently on aygestin 5mg. the only side effect i've noticed is nausea. i did have heart palpitations, but that could have been caused by my thyroid meds. i've noticed some headaches as well, but they aren't too bad.
i'm on the aygestin because i'm taking lupron shots to treat endometriosis. the aygestin is supposed to help prevent bone mineral density loss and to act as contraceptive.
