But since I've started taking loestrin, my cramps have disappeared, i have very few mood swings, and extremely light periods that last about 3 days. | | 12/8/2008 | 5 | Birth Control | none - | I've tried Depovera - skin like sand paper,lots of bleeding! loestrin 21 -- fatigue - but it worked! Patch -- chest pains, abdominal pain - hated it. With this 24 day loestrin: I HAVE HAD NO SIDE EFFECTS!!!! Periods last 1 1/2 days and very light!!! More exspensiv --- but worth it. | 31 | 15 months | 8/15/2009 | 4 | | 3/3/2007 | 4 | | 1/2/2001 | 3 | contraception, lack of libido | weight gain, bloating | switched to microgestin about 4 months ago. Doctor told me to go three months before taking "sugar" pills (said it was okay). Just took sugar pills and had no period whatsoever. Now in fourth month and am suddenly experiencing LOTS of wieght gain and TONS of bloating. Took preg. test and came up negative. Planning on calling doc. to discuss weight gain and bloating because I hate feeling FAT!!! | 23 | 4 months | 9/13/2006 | 3 | nausea | 37 | | 12/19/2013 | 3 | Prevent pregnancy | Extreme hunger, irritable, weight gain or water retention, breast size increase, improved skin | 0 days 1X day | 10/3/2020 | 2 | Birth Control | Some nausea, and first period while on it was absurdly heavy. But my main concern were the weird flashes/bubbles of light I experienced vision-wise in week 3, followed by headache. My ohb/gyn has asked me to stop the pill immediately, but I wondered if anyone else had these vision issues. | 3 weeks | 7/26/2007 | 2 | birth control | headaches, depression, lack of energy, spotting, no 'real' period. | i just dont feel like myself on this pill, this if the first time i've tried birth control and i am just finishing the first month. i don't know if it is worth it to continue? i am relieved and shocked from these reviews. my period was perfectly regular before starting birth control, and i didn't even get it this month. i can not believe how depressed i feel! | 22 | 28 days | 1/5/2008 | 1 | to not get pregnant | periods were irregular, headaches, but most of all I GOT PREGNANT! | 15 months | 5/21/2008 | 1 | Birth control | Lots of anxiety, mood swings, weight gain brought on by strong cravings, fatigue, irritability, acne, breast tenderness | I had rated this pill a couple of weeks ago saying I had mood swings and was overly emotional, but was hoping the side effects would get better. Just wanted to add that I am now breaking out on a daily basis (I usually have clear skin) and my breasts have become so tender that sleeping is difficult. lovely. I will be switching pills this week. | 21 | 2 months | 5/11/2007 | 1 | perimenopausal | HORRIBLE DEPRESSION & TERRIBLE CYSTIC-LIKE ACNE! COMPLETELY CHANGED MY PERSONALITY!!WEIGHT GAIN MAINLY IN ABDOMEN. PAIN IN CALVES. SEVERAL BAD MIGRAINES LAST MONTH AND CONSTANT ON/OFF SINUS PRESSURE HEADACHES. EXTREME FATIGUE...THE WORST I HAVE EVER FELT IN MY LIFE!!!!! | I WAS ON THIS PILL FOR 1 MONTH AND 5 DAYS. STOPPING IT TONIGHT!!DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I WAS ON OTHER BC PILLS IN MY 20'S WITH NO PROBLEMS....THIS PILL SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET!!!! LOOKING AT OTHER FEEDBACK, IT SEEMS ALMOST EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS VERY SCARY!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS FDA APPROVED!!! | 33 days | 4/20/2007 | 1 | breast pain & emotional around per. | Breast pain got much, much worse, but my doc said to tough it out and it did go away after about three months. See right post for more... | At three months, I began to have joint pain, depression and anxiety, lots of fatigue. I had to drop some summer classes because I couldn't write. Then in January of this year (9 months in), I had more diffuse bone and joint pain, sweating, spider veins and petechiae all over my body and my vagina is dry like the Sahara. I saw a rheumatologist who can't give me an answer about how sick I've been feeling, but he recommended I go off the birth control for a while, which I'm doing. I'm also seeing a hematologist to rule out the more serious stuff. If this all was from the pill, I'm never, ever going on birth control again. | 24 | 1 years 1/20 1X day | 3/26/2010 | 1 | Prevent Pregnancy | I wake up every morning with a heavy, pounding heart and have anxiety throughout the day including severe panic attacks. I find myself depressed more then I am happy and its put a toll on not only me but my relationship as well. I can not logically deal with situations since my hormones cause me to be overly emotional and moody. | 19 | 2 months 1X day | 4/8/2012 | 1 | 1 years | 12/7/2011 | 1 | Ovulation pain | I can't understand why there should be side effects . The dose is so low !!!!! My last pill I was on for 20 years but had to stop as suddenly got unexplained headaches . I was not going to take another contraceptive pill as in late 40's but had severe ovulation pain so doctor gave me this pill as lowest dosage one . Since I've been on it ( only 5 days ) I have never felt so angry in my entire life . I am just furious all day long !!!!!! This is not me !!!!! I've always been a loving fun calm person . But now I just want to scream !!!! I think I will give it a few more weeks as 5 days is unfair to judge but I'm terrified im going to do something I will regret with this temper. | 5 days 20 | 1/14/2015 | 5 | Birth control | Only side effect for me is a positive one, I get no period on my "off" week. | Being on the same pill for 15 years when it was no longer available my Dr switched me to this & I wish I was on it sooner. I love not getting a period. | F | 39 | 1 years | 12/10/2014 |
