My doctor started me on Loestrin about six months ago after I moved in with my boyfriend. I knew that my body would go through some changes because of the hormones in the pills, but I had no idea how drastic they would be. I've gained at least ten pounds and my stomach is always bloated. I've always been a size 6 and now I can barely get my jeans past my thighs. I also wasn't prepared for the anxiety, depression and drastic mood swings I continuously experience. I notice I have a lot less patience and a much shorter fuse than I use to, and I hate it. It sucks because I feel fat and dumpy all the time, but I don't know of any other pill where I wouldn't have side effects.
