I've been on Loestrin for 7 months now and although it's helped me with cramps and period length, I am so sensitive and emotional, and recently I've been having some light abdominal cramping every day. It's not bad, but it makes me concerned that it's every day. Anyone else experienced this?

Finally someone who experienced the same as me, yes i have had it everyday as well. its not major bad but still there.. it has helped me also with my cycle very much, and the only thing i seemed to be having is the cramping everyday but i figured it was a small price to pay for helping with my periods.. what do u think?

I did look at some of the common side effects, and one was abdominal cramping, but you wouldn't figure it would be everyday. If that is what I have to put up with to have basically no period, I'll tough it. Glad I'm not the only one who feels like this. I was worried I had developed something more serious.

On another issue, I haven't had more than a 3 day period(sometimes no period) in 6 months, but my last one, in September was really heavy and lasted for about 4 days or so. I also had awful, horrible cramps before and during my period. I'm hoping that that is just an "every-once-in-awhile-fluke" and that my awful periods don't start up again in spite of the Loestrin. I started taking it to begin with for heavy cramps and long periods.

Any comments would be awesome. (Nice comments)

I've been super sad and emtional as well, it's crazy I just want to cry ALMOST ALL THE TIME. And my breast hurt soo bad, I can't even stand for my husband to touch them, even when I lay on my stomach they hurt..I'm trying to wait out these side affects, I hope they leave soon.
