RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR LOESTRIN FE 1/2 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
2 | birth control | I experienced breast tenderness, little to no period, and I enjoyed very stable moods, as opposed to my previous pill. I generally felt good since starting this pill. However, right before my period the first month, and now again, in the 2nd month, I am experiencing severe labia tenderness and pain that is very noticeable and irritating. | After reading that this pill is prescribed for women over 40 who desire to have increased sex drives, and more vaginal moisture, it makes more sense that somehow that part of this pill is affecting me negatively. I Think I will be switching now. | F | 25 | 2 months | 11/1/2004 | 5 | birth control and ovarian cyst | my periods are pain free and very much lighter, and since I started taking it, my cyst is not as painful and I feel it going away | F | 30 | 1 months | 10/31/2004 | 4 | birth control | Breast tenderness during middle of my cycle. Very light periods, sometimes lasting 2 days or less. Vaginal dryness during most of the cycle | I really liked LoEstrin 1/20 because I had very light periods with virtually no cramps. I didn't like the breast tenderness, but that was the worst of the side effects for me. | F | 26 | 2 years | 10/21/2004 | 5 | Birth Control | I had very heavy and painful periods. I've been on this pill for over 5 years. The first 3-4 years I only had my period a couple times a year, which was not a concern of my doctors. For the past two years, regular monthly periods but shorter and light, minimal cramps. My skin cleared up too. No noticeably weight gain. | I think this pill is great, would never consider switching. | F | 31 | 5 years | 10/7/2004 | 5 | | 8/4/2004 | 3 | birth control | no periods, decreased libido, depression | F | 23 | 2 years | 7/18/2004 | 1 | birth control | Using this pill has been a nightmare. My hair starting falling out a month after starting this pill. At first, I didn't connect it to the pills but after doing research I've learned this pill is usally prescribed for women over 40, as it can screw up the hormones in younger women. | F | 21 | 8 months | 6/27/2003 | 1 | regulate cramping | The worst anxiety I've ever experienced. Approach with caution. (This was actually Loestrin FE 1/30.) | The 3rd day on this pill I woke from a dead sleep with a terrifying | F | 38 | 3 days | 4/11/2003 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | Before trying Loestrin I was on Ortho-Novum for a month and could no longer handle the nausea. I was on Loestrin for 3yrs and experienced minor depression, mood swings and bleeding if I missed a pill. | However, Loestrin worked for me and I did not want to experiment with any other birth control pill types. I liked it, because there was hormone dosage in the pills, unlike Ortho-Novum 777. | F | 21 | 3 years | 2/6/2003 | 4 | Birth Control | Light or no period. Slight cramping and lower back pain. | This pill has been great for me. I have not had a migraine since I started taking this pill. Before starting Loestrin I was taking Mircette and I had horrible mood swings and was having my period every other week. | F | 25 | 1 years | 11/29/2002 | 1 | contraceptive | Terrible mood swings, bloating, weight gain. | This medication completely changed my entire personality, killed my libido and made me miserable. If you plan to take this ask for an antidepressant Rx at the same time- it was that bad!!!! | F | 29 | 6 months | 11/11/2002 | 3 | To prevent pregnacy | head aches, little cramps here and there, my period is much much lighter then it was when I was not on birthcontrol | I am pritty happy with the results so far.. Its doing its job, i guess the only thing that made me worry was how light and my period was, but after reading this i can see its one of the side effects. | F | 19 | 6 months | 8/9/2002 | 3 | To prevent pregnacy | head aches, little cramps here and there, my period is much much lighter then it was when I was not on birthcontrol | I am pritty happy with the results so far..
