yeah, I had the Mirena for three months and had it taken out because it ruined my sex drive and I bled constantly for about the entire time, maybe 6 days total of no period. And my period was heavy for those three months... not just a little discharge. I say that so that whomever reads this will understand. I switched from the IUD to the Loestrin 24 Fe... I was hormonal day number 3... so much so that I have argued with him since day number 3... for no reason really... normally I would keep my mouth shut but with this hormonal swing everyone knows what I am thinking... and at the time I thought it was smart to say what I thought. Anyway, I took Loestrin for two weeks, thats it. And I am on day 4 of no pill and I am still hormonal. I had headaches starting day number 5 and they were horrible... made my jaw and ears hurt. They were persistant until yesterday, day 3 no pills, and I have a slight "Lul (hum)"... like remnants of the headache still present. Day 3 on the pill I also noticed serious depression... and that stayed with me until yesterday, day 3 off the pill, I was crying every minute... the slightest criticism or off remark I would be crying, and the baby.... she couldn't play around me without getting barked at for making to much noise or making a mess... I yelled at her several times... well, she is two years old and they do tend to test you but I really don't yell. I even told my husband that me and the baby would leave him. So, I have read many other websites that host such experiences from Loestrin 24 Fe and I have to say... 75% is Bad News and the other is just OK. FDA may approve this drug but that doesn't mean its for everyone.
