I'm a 37 year old mother of two who is fortunate to work in an OB/GYN office and have different BC's at her disposal. In the last year or so, I've tried Yaz (only stayed on for a month or so and quit due to weight gain and fatigue), the NuvaRing (had yeast infections) and now have just finished my 1st pack of Loestrin 24 FE. I have had spotting all month (enough to use a light tampon), severe mood swings (like a want to tell people off in a bad way!), severe fatigue (want to sleep right as I get home and be a couch potato) and WEIGHT gain (which I HATE!). I am in great shape and wear a size 6-8 but now feel more comfortable in a size 8-10. I know that you should give any BC at least 3 months to work but I don't know if the pros outweigh the cons. Also I did noticed a decrease in sex drive and the drive to want to exercise. I feel horrible after I eat and and feel constantly bloated even when I wake up in the morning and haven't eaten yet. I'm on the fence about staying on this BC.

im just wondering if you might know if this birth control pill can cause cervical cancer i had my oldest son in sep. of 06 and i found out i was pregnant in july of 08 i also got a pap and it came back cancerous so i have to see an oncoligist and almost had to terminate the pregnancy thanks to god i was able to have my youngest son who is now 5 mos. but i had to get a cone biopsy 6 weeks after giving birth then about 6 weeks after that i had to have a hystorectomy which i really did not want but my ob said that the test came back that it was an aggresive cancer and they would have to do the surgery so now i can't have the baby girl me and my husband wanted but i thank god for our beautiful boys he gave us thank you for your time
