I am in complete horror at reading all these posts yet somewhat comforted that I'm not alone. I'm 22 started Loestrin 3 weeks ago and I have gained at least 5 lbs, I feel completely horrible my cheeks are huge and my butt and stomach have also gotten quite larger. I am moody and depressed and I have been spotting nonstop since I started this pill (going on my 3rd week now). I also get these from my university so I'm assuming this is all they have but I do not recommend it. I'm not even that sexually active I just thought it was better to be safe than sorry but now I just want it to stop, should I finish the pack or just stop right away? I just want to quit right now but I don't know what to do. Suggestions please?

Hi, I do know that you aren't supposed to stop taking your pills in the middle of the pack, you have to wait until you are finished. Also, for someone your age, I think a tri-phasic pill is what is typically recommended. See my post dated 11/9/09. I don't know what your university offers...but I would stay away from mono-phasic pills. I am going off when I finish my pack.
