i have read a lot of these posts 7 its kinda freaked me out b/c im currently taking loestrin & i jus finished my 1st pack. i have light to heavy spotting everyday. i know most females wil began 2 spot 1st when they are taking a birth control that can decrease your period. i also feel moody & sort of depressed but i feel other things in my life are causing that. my cramps aren't as ad as when im not on bc. my breast are tender to but no acne, acne has never been a problem for me, thank god!lol. ut the only think that really bothers me is the constant spotting! i was on the shot, depo-provera for 2 yrs. straight. u get the shot once every 3 months. i spotted at first for like a month & then it began 2 decrease & my period stopped all together but still had increase breast size, extreme weight gain, cramps(not unbearable ones), & the worst migraines. these are jus typical side effects of birth control. i liked the depo shot cuz i didn't have a period or had 2 remember 2 take a pill everyday but the side effects are probably not worth that bargain. the any birth control especially the shot that stops your period & you take it for years straight can make you sterile i have a cousin who had a few miscarriages b/c of it b/c the shot might not ware of from a month to a year causing sterility. the shot also can cause bone density. im just so fed up w/ irth control b/c they all have a bad side effect. i hope they can invent something w/ way less side effects because the negative out ways the positives with most if not all birth controls but i guess im gonna try loestrin for a while before i give up on it.

I am just starting my 3rd pack. I really didn't have problems on the 1st month because I think my body was getting used to it. By the time it kicked in on the 2nd month, I did notice a big breakout on my chin. But using Benzoyl Peroxide helped cleared it up alot. But I did have a lot of breast soreness and it seemed like it got bigger a little. Now its ok though.But during the brown pills I did not get any period. The only time i get it is like on the 2nd week of starting the new papck. But its just like a heavy spotting for a couple days. Slight spotting through the month. But I will find out on my 3rd month. I liked EstropStep the best so if this continues, then I will try to ask to switch. But so far so good. My sister is on it, and loves it but gets no period..
