m 28, i took loestrin24fe for about 7 months. Around the 2nd month i started feeling a an increase in my abdominal girth . At first i thought it was colitis, but did a complete check up and all came up ok. I have no other symptoms but that increase ( it doesn hurt or tender). it is horrible because i had always had a flat belly, so my most of my jeans don't fit. I had no periods while i was on the pill. I stopped taking it about a month ago. And my body hasn't returned to normal yet. Has anyone had this side effects? when will my body return to normal?
