I have been on Loestrin24 for about 8 months now. I can't stand it! My doctor put me on it due to having an elevated blood pressure. It hasn't really helped my blood pressure that much, plus the side effects are driving me nuts! My mood is horrible and at times I can start crying over the dumbest things. I constantly feel bloated and I have not had my period in almost 2 months. I had a light period before with my old birth control and now my period is non existent. I also missed a pill for one day and I was spotting for the next week. I much prefer Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, I am going back to that pill.
