Hey everyone! My names Janelle and I'm 20 years old. I went on Loestrin about three months ago and am going to quite taking it. I have experienced just about every side effect mentioned above. From depression, breast tenderness, severe mood swings, increased fatigue, and increased weight gain. I am a very healthy eater and exercise almost six times a week. The exercise has helped with the mood swings a bit but has not helped with any of the other side effects. My plan is to stay away from birth control, exercise frequently and remain abstinent until marriage! I know this won't work for some of us so I would recommend taking another pill. I have also tried YAZ and that was MUCH WORSE. Probably the worst birth control pill out there!!!

that is how i felt when i was on yaz. My poor boyfriend had to deal with the mood swings the crying. I just don't know what birth control work best without these side effect. I mean if the pill makes me feel this way there is no way i will try the Ring or patch. Please if anyone have any advice please share with me.

Once you stopped Loestrin 24, how long did it take for the weight to come off and the side effects to subside? I have just gone off b/c I hated it and had many of the side effects you mentioned.

Any advice is appreciated.

thanks,
Beth
