 5  Severe cramps from endometriosis Very few side effects so far, I switched from Yaz, which completely ruined my life, but the severe cramps sent me to the doctor where they discovered stage 3 precancer which i had removed today. 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.

 5  Perimenopause symptoms I am 52 and I love this pill! I took it for several years with no negative side effect. My periods were short and very light and I had no more moodiness or PMS symptoms. I then stopped taking it about 6 months ago in order to go through natural menopause. That was a mistake! I was not in menopause yet and started having very heavy, painful, irregular periods. I went back to my doctor who prescribed it again for me and I couldn't be happier!! M 52

 2  Contraception and Painful Periods I have been on this drug for almost three months and I have insomnia, anxiety, weight gain (despite working out 5 days a week), and headaches. The only good thing is that my periods are barely there with no pain. My skin also looks pretty good. But Im not sure what to do because the negative side effects are pretty major. F 37

 2  Prevent Pregnancy Have been taking it since January and have found that I am more depressed, ups and downs on my mood. Tired all of the time. While I am still on it; I do plan on changing at the end of this pack (just started a new pack). Hoping to get rid of some of the side effects; as the tiredness and the depression are too unbearable.

 2  Shorter and Lighter Periods Constant headaches, severe bloating, increased appetite, insomnia, decrease in sex drive, moodiness, occasional sharp sudden chest pains, loss of motivation, emotionally unavailable. I was previously using Ortho Tricyclen Lo. I switched to Loestrin hoping to have shorter and lighter periods. I started to notice the many side effects within the first week. I'm extremely unhappy as a result of the switch. Needless to say, I will be going back to my beloved Ortho Tricylen Lo. ALL THAT GLITTERS, DEFINITELY ISN'T ALWAYS GOLD!! F 33

 1   Extreme hunger, appetite never satiated. No energy, always tired. Bleeding never stops, even if it is only spotting. I also started experiencing symptoms of bacterial vaginosis within the same month of starting LoEstrin. Not sure if it's connected... F 27

 1  Regulate periods In the beginning, I didn't have many side effects. However, about 6 months of taking the pill, I developed B6 and B12 defeciency. Then a month later I had a kidney stone. And about 2 months later I had extremely low levels of Vitamin D. I started to get really bloated and began getting large clots during the flow. After going off the pill, for 5 months I had disgustingly huge clots during my period (up to 8 inches in length!) I developed weird skin rashes. Its finally back to normal now and I am never going to go on any hormone pill again. DO NOT TAKE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS IF YOU CAN. Find other alternatives. Synthetic hormones do long-term damage to your body and are incredibly dangerous. F 32

 1  birth control mood swings, depression, low sex drive, no periods, hunger, tender breasts, breast growth I've been on this pill a little over a year now. I have had all kinds of issues throughout the year. Most recently for about 2-4 months, extreme unhappiness. I have days where I don't want to talk to anyone. My boyfriend and I are having issues, I'm mad at him all the time for no reason. I have no sexual feelings. I have not had a period in a year, which my doc says is OK, but I think its odd. My arm goes numb on occasion. My breast are bigger, which is great, but they are very tender to the touch. I feel like I could eat all day long, and have slight weight gain. Once this cycle is over I'm getting off this pill. Rather not be on any pill, but I don't want to get pregnant right now. F 32
