I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for a couple of weeks now and just had a baby 7 weeks ago. The beginning of this week, I had severe nausea and was unable to eat without becoming nauseous. I believe it is due to the pill and not the food I am eating. Today, I have had breakthrough bleeding that is heavy like a period and severe stomach pains in my lower left abdomen. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow if they don't subside. It is really disturbing that before I had the baby, I had a yeast infection on my skin while on Desogen, so I quit birth control all together. I was hoping that after having the baby, taking a low dose birth control would be okay...but I am a bit worried about the stomach pains. I am not so worried about the break through bleeding because I know it is normal. I have also started to get acne on my upper arms and not my face...totally weird spot for me. I have had dry, itchy skin also... especially on my face. Please respond if you are having similar pains in your stomach.

hi, i have actually just started loetin24 also, and am ending the first week of my second pack. recently, i have started experiencing lower left abdomen pains as well as nausea. i am currently studying abroad in spain, and had one through a few days where i thought i had a stomach bug, and while i'm much better the lower let abdomen pain is still pretty constant. i'm in a monogomous relationship, and aside from a slightly different diet for the past 2 months, nothing much has changed for me except these pills. the consisitent discomfort/pain had gotten to the point where i thought i may have had some weird std symptom or that i may have even been pregnant (nearly impossible because i've been on a contraceptive for the past 4 years, and use condoms), but after talking with some friends and their experiences i'm beginning to think it's these pills. if you can reply as to how your doctor's visit went because i'm thinking about getting checked out by a doctor as well

thanks, and good luck!
