| 5 | i'm debating on if i should go on this pill or not, how many have experienced hair loss? | | 1/7/2007 | 5 | Taking for birth control | I had almost no side effects with this pill. The biggest side effect would be lower sex drive. I had no other side effects, and of all the pills I've tried, this one worked the best for me. Sadly I started to spot on this pill after a year or so, and have been trying other pills for awhile now. I haven't found any that I don't spot on yet. If not for the spotting, I would've glady stayed on it. | I had no weight gain, clear skin, and my moods didn't change. My periods were short, fairly painless, and very light. I didn't suffer any breast tenderness, swelling, or headaches. I took this pill for about a year. | F | 31 | | 4/3/2007 | 5 | birth control | light periods | great pill for me! | F | 23 | | 9/15/2004 | 5 | | 8/4/2004 | 5 | Birth Control | I LOVE this pill!! Have been on this pill for 2 years now and I have NO PERIOD!!Yeay!! Other than that, no weight gain... no mood swings... everything perfect! =) | F | 28 | | 4/23/2007 | 5 | Ovarian cysts | No side effects. | I was on the generic brand of Loestrin FE 1.5/30 called Gildess for about two years. I absolutely loved this birth control! It never gave me any weird side effects, which was great because I had spent years trying out different birth controls to find one that actually agreed with my body. It also helped out with my ovarian cysts (the only reason I was on birth control to begin with). I never had any weight gain, moodiness, cramping, etc. I highly recommend this birth control to anyone with ovarian cysts. It will help you out so much. My doctor recently switched me to Loestrin 24 FE, and to be honest I can't stand it!! It also helped with my cysts, but over the last five months it made me gain weight, I constantly feel bloated, my breasts are always tender and went up two cup sizes and it's making me feel depressed. I'm definitely going to switch back. Birth control effects everybody differently, but I'm glad I finally found a birth control that works for me. Hope this was helpful : D | F | 24 | 1X day | 11/26/2013 | 4 | birth control, acne | I spotted the first two weeks and had mild bloating. Other than that everything is fine. | I started out taking LOESTRIN 1/20 and my doctor felt that that particular dosage was too low due to me only having discharge a few days a month versus having a normal period. The 1/20's really clered my skin. Since I've switched to the 1.5/30, my skin is really pretty. I've experience migraines and high blood pressure with every other birth control that I've tried, everything is fine with this one. Love It! | F | 24 | | 4/22/2009 | 3 | birth control | I'm only on my first pack. I started getting nightmares, decreased appitite && abnormal sleeping patterns. I'm scared it's not really working. It's my first time on any type of pill. | Since it's my first time taking birth control, I'm curious about the effectivness..? Has any one gotten pregnant on the pill. My sister got pregnant twice on the pill (she didnt tell me this until after I had unprotected sex after starting the pill). Is it effective on your first month? | F | 16 | | 6/17/2009 | 3 | Birth Control | Sickness, Headaches, Cramping, Weight Gain | I've only been on it for a couple days, and I have gained around 5 pounds. I was bloated the first day! I feel sick alot, especially in mornings and right after I take the pill. It makes me hungry, I have felt my appetite just grow. I guess it's not worth all of this, but is there any other choice exept for a baby? | F | 19 | | 7/13/2007 | 2 | Periods | Weight gain,mood changes,irritable,not myself | I have been taking this for 2 months now and I have already gained over 5 pounds and that is not like me at all, my diet is the same as it was before i'm actually eating less and i've still gained a lot. First month i didnt even have a period, second month I had a period for over 5 days with horrible cramps, nothing has changed. Pretty much all Loestrin has done for me is add 5 pounds onto my body, my breasts are bigger and sore, my thighs and hips are noticably bigger. I've decided to stop taking this pill. | F | 16 | | 9/11/2007 | 2 | to help with cramps | i have only been on it for about 3 1/2 weeks but ive experienced the following sideeffects: swollen and sore breasts ( and im already large chested so this makes me extremely self conscious),weight gain, mood swings, anxiety, and irritability. i decided im just going to stop taking the pill right away. How will this effect my upcoming period? | F | 18 | | 5/15/2007 | 2 | to not get pregnant | shorter period, less acne, and depression | When first beginnning Junel I loved it. It did everything right for me. My period were shorter and lighter, and I didnt have cramps. Then after a month I realized that I felt different. Things that would only bother me a little befor taking the pill, bothered me 10 times more. Anything that happened who instantly make my eyes water and burst into tears! I feel alone all the time, and it seems like people will not understand! | F | 18 | 1X day | 1/31/2011 | 2 | For shorter periods, birth control | -Breast tenderness (horrible, everyday). -headaches -constant spotting...everyday! -Sleepier than usual -ACNE, all over my back, shoulders, and face now...and I never have breakouts like this | I will finish this second month and if things do not improve...I will be dumping it for something better. This is awful. | F | 23 | 1 mg 1X day | 3/24/2011 | 1 | Birth control | Tiredness, feeling terribly sick & headaches, very emotional | F | 34 | | 5/24/2009 | 5 | Heavy Bleeding | Have been using for nearly 7 years and the only side effect is headaches. The headachesare manageable. | Using Loestrin FE 24 | F | 49 | 7 times | 4/7/2009 | 5 | regulate period | I recently picked up my prescription, I have not started taking it yet. | If you do not get your period while taking it, how will you know when to start a new pack ? I am afraid to take it after the comments I see about the hair loss. | F | 24 | 0 days | 7/18/2006 | 3 | Lost alot of wieght after pregnancy | I am wondering if anyone knows the different varieties of loestrin. I saw one rating that said 1.5/30(?) :( helps with moodiness and depression? I was perscribed FE 24 but there is no generic I have had extremly eratic periods since I stopped nursing and I need something to regulate them, but if I don't have a period at all I will drive myself crazy thinking I am pregnant every month. Any advice??? | F | 24 | 0 days | 1/23/2007 | 5 | Birth control | Decreased sex drive while taking the active pills. | Improved periods, light and about 2-3 days long. No weight gain or other side effects. My sex drive comes back after being on the placebo pills so I'm going to try out another pill to see about improving the sex drive. | F | 27 | 1 days | 5/12/2006 | 4 | to prevent pregnancy | tenderness of breasts, slight mood swings but not bad, high sex drive, and no period as of yet | ive only been taking it for a month, and im currently in my week break from it but i havent had a period yet which is quite worrying, i had sex about 4-5 days (without other contraception) into taking loestrin, was that too early and do you think i should get it checked out? email me to let me know if you can. otherwise its perfectly fine, i took a different pill before which wasnt nice. loestrin is a lot better, and id like to stick to it. | F | 19 | 1 days | 3/9/2007 | 4 | Menstrual Suppression | i have am just about to start this med, any advice, is there anyone using it for menstrual suppression. I have tried other pills and have had no luck. Please help. | F | 29 | 1 days | 1/23/2007 |
