I was on this for a year and then the price went up since my insurance stopped covering it. So I switched to generic (Microgestin Fe 1/20) which has 7 brown pills. And I get cramps again with my period which I haven't gotten in a year, so I'm thinking paying the extra $ for Loestrin 24 Fe is worth it and I might switch back. I also expect my period is going to go back to being heavier and longer, but I have yet to see, it's just day 1 now. The side effects I did experience were lower sex drive and less vaginal lubrication. I also experienced constant breast soreness, and weight gain, but I didn't associate them with the pill until now from reading these comments.
