I have been on Loestrin 24 for about a month and a half.. and I am not very satisfied with it. I have been experiencing horrible side effects. Ever since I started taking this pill I have had really bad breast tenderness, bloating, and nausea all of the time. I have also gained about 5 pounds, which I don't see how it could be possible considering I play college softball and work out about 3 hours every day, and I'm also a very healthy eater. All of these side effects match up to the early signs of pregnancy.. which can be impossible considering I haven't been sexually active for about 3 months now. Has anyone had these same side effects??? I'm just so confused and not sure what to do.. Any advice??

Had the same things happen, except I was having sex. I would have to check to make sure that I was not pregnant each month. It hurt to wear clothes. I would put a bra on, and my nipples would bend sideways. Sorry for the detail:O). Just be careful what you are putting in your body. I had to find out the hard way. I am off all BCP's for now, and I am getting better. It has been a heck of a ride though. If you have time, just take a look at my post, because that is how it all started for me. Everyone is chemically different, so if you feel like this is not the pill for you, you can try somehting else. I am also very thin, fit, and active. My body tends to produce more male hormone or androgens, so this pill was not for me. I am married now, so if I get pregnant, It happens. Best of luck. Let me know if I can help.
