I dont know why I didnt research my problem before now. I have been blaming myself for a year and a half now. I started on Loestrin 24 because I was getting the free samples from a friend that worked at a doctors office. So aside from being free my period was just like spotting for a day. It was so light. But I have had absolutely no sex drive and VERY dry when I did have sex. I have also gained about 60 lbs in the time on the pill. I have always been heavy, but could usually maintain my weight at about 195. I kept blaming myself for the weight gain even though I exercise atleast 3x a week and try to eat healthy. I gained 30 lbs on the nuva ring and lost it all when I switched to Ortho Tri Cyclen...but switched again because of the free pills. I have been really depressed and crying uncontrollably a lot especially because of the weight gain. It was causing a HUGE problem with my boyfriend and I, so I just switched to a new pill. But I think I am going back to Ortho Tri Cylen. I cant believe this is happening to everyone....I am hoping that the switch will change everything for me.
