I have been taking Loestrin for close to two months now and its driving me crazy. The sole purpose for taking the pill was to regulate my excessively long periods (5-7 days). About four days after taking it, I started what is called breakthrough bleeding. My dr. said its completely normal and since then, I've been spotting everyday! It normally takes your body three months to adjust to the pill but I am not even sure I want to continue taking it. I am dating someone new and we haven't been intimate often because I do not feel comfortable doing so spotting. He's been extremely patient and he's great about it but I am getting the opposite results of what I had hoped for. I must say I have pretty decent skin and am usually pimple/zit free, but I've noticed I've been getting some zits on my face more than usual. I am unsure if this is a direct result of Loestrin or not. I am going to complete my three months and hope that I get fewer and lighter periods as the pill suggests. I've read so many different reviews on the pill that I am unsure what to think anymore!!!
