I just finished my 2nd week of Loestrin24fe. I am a professional opera singer. I travel a lot and was very nervous to take birth control because of my work, however my work was being effected by how terrible my periods were. My periods lasted anywhere from 7 to 8 days and they were very heavy. I would vomit, faint, become very cold out of no where, and get liquid on my knees during my period. Finally, I visited the doctor and they found out I was terribly anemic and had fibroids. My doctor and family suggested birth control...So, now I am on birth control. I have read everyone's reviews and the reviews on other sites, so far no one has mentioned a dry throat. I was wondering if anyone has noticed a difference in their speaking voices... does anyone notice if your speaking voice is a little more "raspy" or "breathy" after taking the pill? I am just curious. I've noticed my throat is always dry and I need to drink a lot more water to make it feel normal. I do understand this is only week 3, so I hope after the first month I will feel a bit more comfortable. Any advice on what to look for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ladies!

Hi there operajoy!
I'm an amateur singer (6 years of choral training), and started using Loestrin24 about 2 months ago.
I haven't noticed any changes in my speaking voice, or singing voice, or additional throat dryness.

I wish you the best of luck with your musical career!!
