 1  Birth Control Weight gain, increased apetite, no period My doctor switched me from Yasmin to Loestrin due to light breakthru spotting which annoyed me but now I've been on Loestrin for over a month and I'd take the Yasmin anyday over Loestrin, with Loestrin I had increased apetite, weight gain (about 3-5 lbs) which I've NEVER experienced with any other BC. I wouldn't recommend it. I haven't had a period yet and like other people have spent tons on unnecessary pregnancy tests. Going back to good old Yasmin. F 27 50 days

 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   Weight Gain, Mood Swings, Tiredness I love the 2 day periods but I went from weighing 115 to 125 in 2 weeks and I am a health nut. I work out 3 days a week and I gained weight that fast from the pill. I have also noticed my mood has changed. I went from being happy to being very depressed really quick. F 21 1 months

 2  Prevent Pregnancy Menstrual-like cramping and stomach pain all month, nausea, light spotting, hair loss, very tender breasts and exhaustion. This is the first time I have been on Loestrin, and I have been taking it for two months so far. The first pack of pills didn't cause me any problems, but this second one has been just horrible. It's like every side effect in the book is hitting me at once and I will probably go off of them if things don't clear up real soon. F 19 2 months

 3  birth control missed periods I've been on loestrin for about 8 months now and i've missed my period about 4 out of those 8 months. It makes me nervous. I know a side effect is missing your period, but last month i had very heavy bleeding midway through the pills, and no period when I was suppose to. Then this month, i missed completely. That paired with stomach aches, worries me. By the end of this month, that will make it 2.5 months since i've had my period. Normal? F 20 8 days

 5  to prevent pregnancy I have been on micronor for years because Ortho Tri Cyclen gave me horrible headaches. The lack of estrogen was great on the micronor, but i wanted a more reliable pill because I am not so great at taking them at the same time. I have been on Loestrin for 2 months, with only a slight headache around the beginning of my brown pills. I absolutely love it. My only concern is that i have no period. I have always had a very light period, 2-3 days. But since taking Loestrin I have not had one. I am perfectly fine with the lack of one but I am concerned with how I know I am pregnant, should it happen? Also, my skin is quite itchy, especially my breasts. F 28 2 months

 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

 5  Fibroid Relief Breakthrough bleeding, slight depression the first month. I've been on Loestrin for 5 months now and I absolutely love it! I started taking it to reduce the amount of days and heaviness of my periods. I use to have to wear both a pad and tampon and change both every hour. Now, my periods are 2-3 days long and very light. I did notice that if I didn't take the pill the same time everyday, I would have breakthrough bleeding. Now that I take it at the same time EVERYDAY I no longer experience this side effect. I would recommend it to anyone who is suffering from heavy periods due to fibroids. F 36 5 months
