i am 24 and i was on loestrin 24 for 8 months. at first i didn't notice any side effects but gradually i became lethargic, moody, and i lost my sex drive almost completely. none of those things described me in the slightest before i started taking this pill, in fact i used to wonder if pms was a myth...now i KNOW its so real.anyway because of the lethargy i was having i went to the doctor to see if maybe i was having thyroid problems, i wasn't but he did tell me that studies he has seen link hormonal birth control to breast cancer and advised me to get off the pill. kinda scary i know. i did quit and ive been off for about a month now and i swear its like night and day, im not moody, i have energy and my intimate life is back to normal, im so happy i quit.

When you stopped taking Loestrin did you have a delay in your menstruation? Or did you begin taking another type of birth control pill?

so i've been on loestrin now for about 2 1/2 months and since i've started taking it i have lost urge to have sex too. and everytime i go to try it takes me forever to get wet and when i finally do get wet it dries out and we have to stop. i was just wondering if this had happened to you as well
