| 5 | 1 days | 3/10/2012 | 5 | | 8/4/2004 | 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. | | 12/8/2008 | 4 | Had to change from microgynon 30 | I have not had any side effects apart from no period as yet! I'm not complaining, just worried what long term effects that may have??!? | I switched to loestrin 20 as microgynon 30 gave me hell!!! Could not sleep, suffered depression and lost sex drive completely. All of which nearly lost me my relationship! Loestrin is a blessing, i finally feel myself again!!! | F | 4 months | 1/16/2008 | 4 | | 3/3/2007 | 4 | | 1/2/2001 | 4 | Birth Control | Honestly, the only thing I don't like about the pill is my periods last for just 1 day, and when that happens I get concerned that I may be pregnant. I've had no side effects what so ever. Cramping has gone a billion times down and cramping was death to me - horrible, painful cramps. I absolutely love loestrin. It's a good pill to me. Even though it's not recommended to take the pill the same time everyday, you should really consider doing that. =] | F | 3 months | 8/19/2009 | 3 | Birth control | I was taking it for 6 months without having side effects then all of a sudden I got my period out of no where, my boobs started hurting everyday & I got a cyst the worst part is I always felt like I was pregeant | F | 6 months | 1/16/2014 | 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 | I had no sex drive,and my period is 7days late and I know I'm not pregnant. This pill has made my period irregular | F | 1 months 20 mg | 12/23/2011 | 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 | 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 | F | | 10/12/2007 | 1 | to not get pregnant | periods were irregular, headaches, but most of all I GOT PREGNANT! | 15 months | 5/21/2008 | 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 | 1 | birth control | breast growth, severe acne, vaginal dryness, dry mouth, lethargy, 15 lb weight gain | Honestly, the WORST thing that could have happened to me. The first side effect I noticed was the vaginal dryness. Sex became uncomfortable immediately. This worsened until sometimes it was just unprovoked pain. Then…the boobs. As a B cup I though "oh wow nice." I went up to a full C in weeks and they look super perky. Unfortunately this was accompanied by a 15 lb increase in weight and a huge belly. I did not change my diet or fitness routine and yet my body completely changed. I honestly look like I AM pregnant. On month three I went from having perfect skin to having the worst acne imaginable. The cystic acne is flakey and persistant. ALL OVER MY CHIN. All of those symptoms made me miserable. 1 week afar stopping everything started to go back to normal. Crazy. | F | 3 months 1X day | 1/14/2014 | 4 | for heavy periods and cramps | only been on it a day so im hopin i dnt get any | F | 14 | 1 days | 5/26/2006 | 4 | for heavy periods and cramps | only been on it a day so im hopin i dnt get any | F | 14 | 1 days | 5/26/2006 | 3 | Heavy, long periods and bad cramps | Only problem was that MY hormones broke through the pill hormones so I had my period at random times and sometimes not in the seven day gap!!!! | Completly emitted pain and my periods only lasted about two to three days. I am now on Loestrin 1/30 because it is stronger I don't have the previous problems anymore. | F | 14 | 14 months | 8/10/2006 |
