I have been on this pill for almost a month, I starte bleeding on the end of the second week, my doctor told me this was normal. I usually have horrible cramps but with this I ahve been fine so far. BUT....the weight gain is out of control....and the mood swings are bad too, no headaches or any other symptoms. I am very concerned about the weight gain though it reall is out of control, I have not been doing anything out of the ordinary with my diet, and I have no energy to get up and do anything. Is anyone else feeling this too? I am very happy that I only have two more months left on this crap. Good luck to you all, and know that there are other women going through the same thing.

I just started taking the stuff recently. I'm about 2 and a half weeks into it, and, um, yeah....Dunno what to think of it just yet. I have been gaining a bunch of weight, I'm INSANELY moody( I am usually a VERY laid-back, non-bitchy woman)....and, I am incredibly fatigued....Like I just wanna stay in bed forever....oh yeah, and I still spot blood just about every other day, which I didn't think was s'pose to happen on the pill....The last stuff I was on, was ortho-novum. I know I gained ALOT of weight when I started it, which kinda leveled out & was fine after a month or so, but I NEVER had any moody insanity, or fatigue, or spotting on that. Oh yeah, and my (pardon my language) tits are fuggin' HUGE all of a sudden. All the time. and sore, ALL the time. Also, is this a new drug? I was curious because I looked it up on rxlist.com, which is where I've always been able to get info on myu meds....The site found no info on this drug, which kinda makes me think "hrmmmmmm....." I don't like taking things unless I can find out some stuff about 'em first.....I'm kinda wary like that....The doc gave no info, other than the directions on when to start......

I posted a comment before and got nervous becaus i just started it on sat and i have pressure on both sides of my neck and breakthrough bleeding yesterday and today. I called my doctor and just came back and he said since my vision is blurry and the pressure to go back starting tomorrow on the loestrin 24 Fe. I have to say I wasn't a fan of it since i was depressed for the first three months but, after reading all the messages on here i rather stay by myself when feeling like that!! This is not fun how i feel and i rather th eloestrin take away my period all together than to bleed like this all month on and off. If I were you i would look into even desogen 28 that is what i was on since i was 19 and i am 34!! They only took me off of it because i wasn't get a period since dec. and i have endometriosis.. This pill is not for me!
