I was on Loestrin 24 for about a year, but had to stop and try another because it seemed to not be working for me anymore. I gained 1/2 a cup size (which I don't need), experienced bad mood swings and increased swing emotions, and I developed a rash underneath my breasts, behind my knees, and in the crease of my elbows. I had thought that the rash was my own sensitive skin reacting, but it was not the case. This pill was not good for me, and I hope any woman who is considering it reads these postings and declines it. I now take Yaz, and so far so good! Sex drive has returned and no more bleeding.

Ive had that same type of rash- not while on this pill. Went to the Derm. I hate to tell you this but this rash is caused by stress. Mine started on the tops of my feet, then in the creases of my skin (elbows, knees, etc.) Even if you stopped your pills, you may have this rash again!!
