I hate this pill. Im nauseated, cramping, bloated, angry, have high axiety, cry at the drop of a hat, leg pain, headaches, bubbles in my stomach. and it even gave me an infection canadisis (like a yeast infection of the skin). which I found out was actually a symptom of this pill! I want to switch so bad. But i have been on and off this freaking pill three times this year. Im worried that if i switch to a different birth control I'll just experience new horrible symptoms. Luckily no weight gain though. but horrible break outs as well.

You might want to talk to your Dr to see if you can try something that has less progestin and is less androgenic. Loestrin has a high level of progestin as compared to estrogen....more than many of the pill options out there. I had real trouble with it because of this, I am apparently very sensitive to progestin. Anxiety, bloating, headaches....all side effects of the progestin. Between the many types of pills and many different types of progestins out there, you might have better luck with something different. Good luck!!
