This was the first BC I was given. I tried it for nearly 3 months. My periods were lighter and cramping less, but thats where the benefits end. I had MAJOR constipation. I didn't go to the bathroom for 7 days at one point. I even took laxatives. I went off the pill and the next day things were normal. I was as emotionally upset as usual. Sad, confused, unhappy, withdrawn. I was always nauseous. When I woke up, before bed, after I ate, in the car. I lost my sex drive completely. I wanted to want sex, I just didn't. Sex began to hurt a lot. I went off the pill after 3 months but have not regained my sex drive. I'm unsure if trying another pill will remedy this or make things worse. I wish it would come and I wish I never tried the pill.

Once you quit taking Loestrin did you find that it took a while for your period to come back? I just recently quit taking it and I have been feeling crampy and nauseous w/no period.
