Hi,

Micropills contain only progesterone whereas combined pills contain both the female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. Micropills are used when estrogen is contraindicated due to their side effects. Irregular bleeding, breast tenderness, nausea, headache and mood swings are common with the drug. Weight gaining side effect may not be seen in all patients and it is less common than other hormonal pills.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
