| 2 | Regulate Periods | Bleeding for two continuious weeks, BLOATING, and mood swings | F | 17 | 2 weeks | 3/21/2007 | 5 | To control PMS | None, after light breakthrough bleeding first 2 months | It was suggested by my gynaecologist that I took a low dose pill to control my crippling PMS symptoms (tiredness, memory loss, speech/vision blurring and depression). I went for a 20mg estrogen pill as I am over 40. It has been entirely successful so far. I am now completely well and with the benefit of 2 day light periods. Just remember to check your breasts regularly. | F | 40 | 4 months | 3/8/2007 | 3 | Birth Control | irregular periods | Im on my second month after switching from microgynon30, and on the same day as last month i have got severe breakthrough bleeding, just like a period even though i had a period last week. Cant understand why!Any help???? | F | 18 | 36 days | 1/17/2007 | 3 | Birth Control | One problem... ZERO sex drive! Very annoying to both me and my husband! | I love it as a birth control... no bloating or weight gain or anything like that. Just no sex drive. | F | 22 | 7 months | 1/17/2007 | 5 | prevent pregnancy, reg. periods | Stomach upset first two days, then no more. Breast tenderness, increased sex drive, slightly more emotional, elevated moods, cleared up acne. | F | 28 | 11 days | 11/1/2006 | 2 | BC | Spotting,acne and no period | I have been taking this pill for over a month now. My face breaks out all of the time and I haven't had a period. | F | 21 | 5 weeks | 10/24/2006 | 2 | Birth control | Anxiety, mood swings, depression, severe nausea, migraine, burning sensation when peeing and during sex (due to high progestin, I have learned) | I have only been on this for a week, but I am shocked by the strong side effects I am already experiencing. Can't go on like this anymore. Not sure what other pill to turn to. | F | 23 | 7 days | 7/23/2006 | 4 | Birth Contol/Low Sex Drive | Light periods lasting 2-3 days (yay!), Slight change in sex drive (higher but not much though), less cramps, VERY moody/emotional though. | I was on ortho-tri-cyclen before and the shot for a few years but experienced weight gain and LOW sex drive with heavy cramps. With Loestrin I didn't gain any weight but was also trying weight loss pills @ same time and only lost 2 lbs. Sex drive has not improved that much, but this pill is the best so far. | F | 20 | 2 months | 5/8/2006 | 5 | hormone regulation/birth control | none | I take it continuously (no placebos) to provide a constant hormone level to help prevent migraines. Also, I prefer this level of hormones to several other pills I have tried. | F | 27 | 5 years | 12/18/2005 | 2 | Regulate Periods | Experienced zero cramps and zero breast pain that I have experienced with other pills...however, I bled the entire 2 months that I was taking this pill. I am switching to Loestrin 1.5/30 to hopefully stop the continuous bleeding. | F | 29 | 2 days | 5/27/2005 | 4 | Birth Control | Heavy, sometimes irregular periods, cramping and pre-menstrual headaches | However, very reliable pill so far! Have been taking for nearly 7 years, no weight gain or spots experienced. Tried Microgynon and this made me feel awful so had to go back to Loestrin 21 | F | 6.5 years | 2/1/2005 | 2 | birth control/regulate cycles | weight gain!!!!!I have been taking for almost a year and cycles still have not regulated. | F | 25 | 10 months | 11/14/2004 | 3 | Prevent having children | Made my chest grow, clearin spots but feelin sick in the mornin and at night | Good just wish sickness would stop | F | 17 | 10 days | 9/10/2004 | 3 | prevent having another baby | bleeding in between periods,(more like all the time):( always feeling sick, not to fun ! other then that it works :) | F | 19 | 1 months | 7/21/2004 | 4 | Prevent pregnancy | My breasts grew incrediably large not a problem you may think put they really wore me out, I also got a few more spots but this is only expected with bc | Low dose pill excellent at preventing pregnacy | F | 20 | 2 years | 4/28/2004 |
