I have been on loestrin for 2 months now. For the past month I ha...

I was in the hospital for the last 3 days for this EXACT reason! I had pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) due to increased levels of estrogen. Even though there are low doses of hormones in loestrin 24, it is the only reason the docs could give me for my pancreatitis. The doc is making me stop the pill ASAP!
Good luck & GET TO THE HOSPITAL!

Ladies, make sure you always read all the info on these pills....while Loestrin is considered a low estrogen pill, it is actually quite high in terms of the progestin component...and many of us (like me) have real problems tolerating such high does of any progestin. I did not realize that Loestrin was so high in progestin and so highly androgenic....and most of my problems with it stemmed from that. I had such anxiety that I thought I was losing my mind...never had that before...very scary.
