When I started this pill, originally, when I was about 15, I bled for 5 days, and then after that I began to slowly develop a stomach ache. Further more, my appetite not only vanished, but when I did eat, I had constipation / the runs. I was on it for a year before stopping it for a few months, because I was becoming more moody than I normally am. For example, I would just start crying for no reason, or get very angry and hit people for no reason. Thought there's truly few good reasons to hit anyone. I stopped the pills halfway through being 16. Stomach pain vanished, I began eating again, and having normal mood transitions. When I started it up again, though, I bled for 18 days straight. Eighteen days of gushing blood all over the place. First 14 days was brown blood. I stopped it after the 18th day, and got back onto it sometime in August. My everything seemed normal. Then the lack of appetite returned. And the stomach pain. The stomach pain actually got worse! I went to the doctor. Had to get a GI Series, drank a nasty barium solution, came up positive for... a stomach ulcer! My doctor checked me for the virus, didn't have it. He chocked it up to Loestrin, though he said my stress probably made the ulcer worse. No less, he said it was all Loestrin's fault. Recently, I stopped taking Loestrin 24 Fe again, with no intent of going back on it. And now, I have myself trouble breathing and some irregular heart beating, both which I plan to have checked out. I do not plan to ever go back on Loestrin 24 Fe. I did not enjoy explaining to people, at age 17, that the reason I couldn't eat spicy food or drink juice was because I didn't want to upset my ulcer, and needing to pop a Tums every two hours or so. This is my story; if your stomach has been hurting, I hope you get checked for an ulcer.
