| 4 | To stop 2 months of heavy bleeding | Constant spotting in first month (this has stopped). Depression and fits of crying, I thought I was going crazy. Luckily this stopped in the 3rd month. Weight gain in stomach even though I am loosing elsewhere due to diet and exercise. Nausea can occur when taking the pill without food or too late at night. No more migraines!! | After bleeding heavily for over 2 months the pill was one of my best options to stop it. Which it did. I have never had a regular period before so the spotting never bothered me. The mood swings and crying fits were completely foreign and scary. This did not stop until the 3rd month and now I am back to myself. The biggest tip I can give is to take this at the same time every day!! I only experience bad side effects when I do not take it at the same time of day. Luckily my body reminds me within a couple hours if I did not take it at my usual time. | F | 28 | 3 months 20 1X day | 5/16/2011 | 5 | Pregnancy prevention | None. | I've been taking this BC for 5 years without any side effects. When I started taking it it was like I never did. My periods became lighter and last about 3 days. I have no complaints. | F | 21 | 5 years Dunno 1/20 1X day | 2/16/2011 | 4 | Birth Control | Extreme nausea at first and loss of appetite. Initial weight loss, but now everything is back to normal. Very very emotional though, cry at the drop of a hat. Still get nauseous once in a while. But it regulated my period like magic! | F | 27 | 2 months 1X day | 9/20/2010 | 4 | Reduce perimenopause effects | None whatsoever ... I was nervous at first since my Dr prescribed the Brand drug, Loestrin FE ... That was not covered under my plan, so I had to switch. | After 6 months, I contacted my mail order pharmacy (MEDCO) and they switched my prescription to Gildess FE (unbeknownst to me). Now I have to either go on that, or get my doc to send in another prescription that specifies do not substitute. | F | 45 | 7 months 20 1X day | 8/20/2010 | 2 | Birth Control, Yeast Prevention | Yeast infections, depression. | I tried this pill because I am prone to yeast infections, and my Dr. thought that this pill would be a good one for me to try to remedy it. For side effects, the yeast infections did not subside, and I became QUITE depressed and emotional while on this pill. | F | 26 | 1X day | 7/22/2010 | 3 | Birth control | weight gain, more balanced mood originally then after a couple months suppressed moods, clearer skin | F | 37 | 4 months ? 1X day | 5/11/2010 |
