| 3 | Stop pregnancy help cramps bleeding | Breast enlargement, period every two weeks :P, cramps still there, less bleeding, moodiness (never used to be so emotional) long periods of spotting/cramping following short periods. | I'm halfway through my third month with loestrin, and I'm really getting worried and confused. This pill has messed up my period, and made me think I've been pregnant twice (I haven't) Again, I am getting a period halfway through the month, this time the cramps are just as bad as before I started the pill and I'm barely spotting, it has lasted almost a week now! I don't know what to think. I'm going to stay on it for the fourth month, but if it stays this unpredictable, and I keep having 2 PERIODS A MONTH! I'm going to try something else. I didn't go on the pill to have twice as many periods. | F | 19 | 10 weeks | 9/7/2008 | 5 | bad cramps and depression | Changed my life, couldn't be happier. | F | 37 | 2 years | 6/30/2008 | 3 | birth control | no sex drive | periods are light and only last about 2 days with no cramping, but have no sex drive. This is the only reason I'm disappointed. | F | 30 | 1 years | 6/12/2008 | 3 | birth control | missed period, extreme cramping | i'm into my second pill pack of the generic version, had spotting the whole first month and missed my period, the first week of the second pack i got the worst cramps i've ever had in my life, considered going to the emergency room bc of the pain, not sure about this pill i might give it a couple more months | F | 20 | 1.2 months | 6/5/2008 | 5 | Some break outs | Way better than tri-cyclen for me, some spotting but no big deal. | F | 34 | 2 years | 5/29/2008 | 4 | Regularity, cramps | None so far | Brilliant. Switched from microgyn30 as i was bleeding constantly. Now on Loestrin20 for 6weeks(no break) and only had two days of bleeding. My breasts are fuller but i've not gained weight. My cramps are easier to deal with but that may be as i'm also on mebeverine as a last resort pain treatment whilei wait for gyno referal-i suffer from terrible as yet unexplained pelvic/abdominal pain | F | 17 | 6 weeks | 5/26/2008 | 5 | Birth Control | Breast Fullness | I love this pill. I highly recommend it. I have been on it for a year now and my period lasts for about 3 days. It's usually on time and I take my pill at all different times (not good I know) but it has been great so far. | F | 21 | 1 years | 4/15/2008 | 5 | Period problems. | Dizziness, nausea, a little mood swings. | I've been on this pill for almost a month after switching from a generic brand of Seasonale, which caused me to spot, lash out at people and made me a horrible person. Loestrin is amazing, I've had no spotting or cramps, just a little nauesea and dizziness. | F | 16 | 1 weeks | 3/24/2008 | 2 | regulate periods | i've had break though bleeding every second week of every new pack. also, bad cramps during the break though bleeding. every time i call my obgyn, he insists i stick it out for another month. | worst pill ever. | F | 19 | 6 months | 3/12/2008 | 5 | Regulation, birth control | Light spotting for first 3 weeks, | I haven't had my period since switching from Yasmin to Loestrin, which is definately a good thing in my case. I had some light spotting at first, but it can take up to 3 months for your body to adjust, so it was expected. I haven't had the mood swings and headaches I experienced when on Yasmin. My skin has also stayed clear and my sex drive hasn't been affected at all. | F | 21 | 4 months | 2/28/2008 | 2 | birth control | Constant light bleeding | I have had enough of loestrin! I have been taking it for almost a month and have had light bleeding for most of that time. No other side effects. After I get my period I will try another pill. | F | 30 | 1 months | 2/4/2008 | 2 | Birth Control | Been taking it for about a week and i just experienced some bleeding. I was taking yaz before, which is great , but recently just started taking loestrin 21. I dont like it too much so im looking forward to going back to yaz. It makes me feel uncofterable and i do not like experiencing occasional bleeding between periods. | I recommend yaz. | F | 21 | 1 weeks | 2/2/2008 | 5 | heavy periods & endometriosis | Absolutely no side effects. Everyone is different so some may have various side effects, but not me. I've been on BC pills for over 20 years. This by far is the best one. | I'm on the continual regime. I have no periods. LOVE that. My breast are bigger, Love that. My sex drive is so/so but I can't relate it to the pill. I have miagraines which this pill has helped. | F | 37 | 8 years | 1/10/2008 | 3 | Birthcontrol | Acne breakouts, bleeding in middle of pill pack. | Have taken for one month (one pill pack). I had bleeding the second week taking the pills, along with my regular period two weeks later. Periods were same as normal. | F | 20 | 1 months | 12/28/2007 | 3 | Birth control/bad cramps | I am actaully taking the generic version called junel Fe 1.5/30. So far I have been taking these pills for 3 days. My stomach felt very nauseas, I feel more tired, and I threw up so bad this morning....I don't know if I can take much more of this, I will finish my pack and if it doesn't improve I will take another one. This pill also made me a bit moody and emotional, and I got some headaches. | F | 19 | 3 days | 11/14/2007 | 3 | Doctor Recomended | Occasional Spotting week before Period is supposed to start...if it starts. | I have been on this pill for 4 months...first month, din't get a period, second week I got it and it was very light...only bled first day...3rd month, spotted week before, nothing week of. Fourth month, NOTHING! Very unpredictable! | F | 26 | 4 days | 10/15/2007 | 1 | IRREGULAR PERIODS | WEIGHT GAIN, BREAST PAIN, ACNE | Took Lo-Estrin for 8 months, gained 10lbs (weight has never been a problem for me). Had acne and breast pain. Took other pills before and never had this problem. Stopped taking Lo-Estrin last week and already lost 5lbs!!!!!!!!!! Not a good pill at all. Wouldn't recommend it. Going back to Alesse. | F | 34 | 8 months | 10/11/2007 | 4 | Severe Cramps/Cysts/Pregnancy | I have been on LoEstrin 21 for about 7 years now and really recommend it. After trying many other pills over the years this was the only one that would not make me gain weight or have enlarged breasts. My periods are extremely light and cramps minimized. | F | 29 | 7 years | 9/10/2007 | 5 | Endometriosis/Horrible periods | Bigger breasts (yay for me!), breast tenderness, NO MORE HORRIBLE CRAMPS! VERY light 2-day period. | This has worked wonders for me. I was incapacitated by my cramps every month. I had tried other BC pills in the past which made me super moody, irritable and just felt "not right". I was scared to try this, but my cramps were so bad (apparently due to endometriosis) that I had to try something. The generic pills made my boobs hurt constantly...they were big, yes, but SO painful! I switched to brand name and have had NO problems whatsoever. I love these pills! | F | 33 | 9 months | 6/19/2007 | 3 | birth control | none as of yet just started. | I've been reading about this pill, and I'm very concerned. I wanted to take Yaz ,but this what they gave me. | 33 | 1 days | 6/12/2007 |
