| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR LOESTRIN FE 1/2 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Birth control | Breast tenderness, mood swings, and break through bleeding the first few months(normal for any hormone change) | I love this contraceptive. It works great for regulating my periods, lessening pms symptoms, and as a contraceptive. Like all hormonal contraceptives, there were some mild side effects the first few months. Don't let negative reviews by people taking this for a few weeks to a month or two scare you. Every hormonal contraceptive takes a few months for your body to adjust. | F | 24 | 2 years | 11/3/2016 | 5 | Endometriosis/period regulation | None | I'm so happy I found this pill! I was on too high of a dose before finding this one and was getting migraines all the time. I've never dealt with migraines before and became very depressed and anxious. So my doctor switched me to this one and I haven't had a migraine since starting this pill. My periods are very regular and predictable and the cramps are manageable. I also have less of an appetite and have lost some weight. I'm absolutely thrilled. I'm posting this so others can see a POSITIVE comment among so many scary ones. | F | 27 | 4 months 20mcg | 8/28/2016 | 5 | Migraines due to perimenopause | Swollen heavy breasts for first few months. | Love this pill. I was experiencing migraines 15 plus days a month due to decreasing estrogen levels. This pill has eliminated the migraines completely and has boosted my sex drive. I have gained about 10 lbs on this pill but well worth it. | F | 41 | 1 years 20 MG | 6/30/2016 | 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 | 5 | I was perimenopause. | I have had no side effects. | this is the dance to and I don't know what to do for so long to find help. I am so happy with it. I am so glad my doctor prescribe me this for me it took about 2 months to get my period regular but now I am so happy and so pleased. I feel normal again my parents were rather seem like the whole month before going on the medication. before I acted like nothing I didn't know what the details about the bank it was painful and now I am so happy with this medication thank you God. | F | 55 | 3 months 30 | 11/27/2014 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | I actually love this pill. I had not been on birth control for a year prior to starting this. Before starting the pill I had was experiencing fatigue that made it hard to get through the days, and crazy PMS. After the first week on the pill my energy levels increased significantly! No more mood swings either :)- no sure if this means I had low levels of estrogen to account for lack of energy? | F | 31 | 1 days | 2/21/2014 | 5 | pregnancy prevention | honestly none- I was so worried and read all of these exact horror reviews. first pill I've ever taken and I love it. I haven't gained any weight, my skin is clear, and moods seem to be normal. my boobs did get bigger but no weight gain. also, my acne got a little worse when I first started but disappeared after like 2 months. | F | 19 | 1 days | 2/18/2014 | 5 | Endo/Adenomyosis | None that I can definitely blame on the pill | Love this pill. Cured my chronic and constant pain from endo/adeno literally overnight, periods almost nonexistent and pain free when before I was unable to function. Remember a lot of people post when feeling negative about a product. We're all different, it's worth a try with the oestrogen level so low! | F | 40 | 1 years 1X day | 1/13/2014 | 5 | Birgh control | OKAY, GILDESS FE IS NOT THR SAME AS LOESTRIN! no matter what the stupid companies tell you. I was on loestrin, switched to godless when it was discontinued. My body freaked out right away. Bad. I got cystic acne all over my chinn and forehead. From the moment I took it I never had a clear face. One pimple would leave and two more giants would appear. I was so moody and hated the world. Mostly my boyfriend. I went to a new doctor and she said it was NOT me and 100% the pill. She said she had heard this from multiple women and to stop taking it. She switched me to yaz and my skin stopped breaking out within a week. I am waiting to have an iud put in to end all this shit. IUDs are becoming more known as a safe and NORMAL option for women who haven't had kids yet. They are safe effective and release so little hormone that they don't make you a lunatic. Look into mirena ladies! | F | 22 | 3 months | 12/5/2013 | 5 | 2x period a month, hormone imbalan | So far I have experienced no negative side effects. I was so hesitant to take something, afraid of weight gain or mood swings but so far nothing! I have had more Energy then I have had in years!! I would say give it a chance like my dr told me for 3 months. Everyone is different! | F | 26 | 1 months 20 | 1/19/2013 | 5 | heavy period, extreme cramping | Bigger boobs/butt, always hungry but no weight gain, high sex drive. | F | 18 | 3 months | 12/29/2012 | 5 | birth control | Completely lost period, no spotting even, immediately, for TWO YEARS. MAYBE a decrease in libido. POSITIVE: eliminated mood swings, greatly eased anxiety and depression. | Previously, I had taken Ortho-Tricyclen Lo for a couple of years and switched to YAZ to help with bloating and mood swings. I was pretty happy with YAZ until my doctor heard about some of the increased risk for blood clots and refused to prescribe it any longer. The minute I switched to Loestrin FE, my period disappeared and I lost weight rapidly. I went to the doctor for a full checkup because I didn't immediately connect that with the new pill. After realizing I was healthy, I stayed on the pill for two years until the complete absence of a period began to make me and my husband nervous. So.... my doctor was going to switch me back to Ortho-Tricyclin Lo, but there's no generic, so I had to take Trinessa (regular ortho generic instead). And Trinessa has been miserable. My insane mood swings, depression, and anxiety as returned, my periods are all over the place. I gained weight and retain water. I want to go back to Loestrin. I don't think I need a period. :-) | F | 26 | 2 years 1X day | 8/15/2012 | 5 | Prevent Pregnancy | No major side effects noticed. | This is the only BC pill that has worked for me (I have tried a few). No depression, no headaches, no anxiety at all. I LOVE this pill. I don't even know I am on it, except for the fact is has cleared my skin and caused me a little bit of weight gain, but we're talking maybe 5 lbs. | F | 34 | 2 months 1X day | 7/9/2012 | 5 | to prevent pregnancy | well not really had any othet that i stopped having a period and difficulty sleeping | 17 | 2 years 1 mg | 7/4/2012 | 5 | prevent pregnancy | I think its fabulous after I had my son I had horrible mood swings and crying all the time freaking out about stuff...anyway after I started taking the pill I think it balanced out my hormones..so, I am extremely satisfied until now and I don't have to worry about an unexpected pregnancy:)) double wham | F | 21 | 2 months | 4/14/2012 | 5 | Regulate Periods | I have had no negative side effects from this medications. I have been on it for 12 years and have not had a period for 12 years! And yes I do take the fourth week off. | F | 36 | 12 years 1/20 mg 1X day | 4/3/2012 | 5 | Cycle regulation | Absolutely no side effects, though it didn't make my period any less uncomfortable unfortunately. Would def recommend this pill to others! | F | 37 | 6 months | 3/31/2012 | 5 | ovarian cysts/endometriosis | This pill is amazing. Helped me so much. Pain free for the first time in five years. | F | 36 | 4 months 10 | 3/19/2012 | 5 | birth cintrol | No negative side effects. Great pill | F | 37 | 6 months 1/10 | 3/11/2012 | 5 | 1 days | 3/10/2012 |
