recently I went to the doctor and I told her ive had break through bleeding and was on orthocy lo. She told me that possibly having a straight dose of hormones the whole month may help that. So I switched. After the first week on loestrin, I was miserable. I cried for three days straight, I was moody, miserable, and gained two pounds. Now I am almost done with my pack and ive gained almost 5 pounds. The mood swings stopped but I started to get severe cramping in my ovaries for no reason. I had sex the other night and was very dry. After, I got such bad cramps that I threw up and just today I woke up from a nap in so much pain I couldn't move. I guess I would rather have break through bleeding than all these crazy side effects. When I get mr period I am goi g to start taking my old pills again. Any advice on a pill that doesn't cause break thru bleedding or any of the loestrin side effects?!
