I HAD A BABY EXACTLY 8 WEEKS AGO TODAY. MY PERIOD RETURNED ON SUNDAY, MAY 11, 2008, THEN I BEGAN MY 1ST PACK. I BLED FOR 3 DAYS AND IT WAS VERY LIGHT, WITH NO CRAMPS. ON WED. MAY 21,2008 I BEGAN TO BLEED AGAIN. TODAY IS MONDAY MAY 26, 2008 AND I AM STILL BLEEDING. I HAVE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HEADACHES. I AM WONDERING IF THINGS WILL CHANGE BY THE TIME I BEGIN MY 3RD PACK. IF THE BREAKTHROUGH BLEEDING PERSISTS BY THEN I WILL JUST HAVE TO DO MORE RESEARCH AND FIND A BETTER B.C. METHOD.

I am in the same boat as the rest of you. I was on Loestrin a year ago and switched because of the cost. I then called my doctor up and switched back, but not without asking if it could cause me to gain weight. She said no, but I now know she was wrong. When I was off the pill I lost about 10 pounds. Since being back on it, I have gained the weight back in spite of working out and trying to eat better. I know it is the pill doing this. I also have had horrible headaches. After reading this blog, I am calling my doctor tomorrow and switching back to Ortho Tricyclen. Don't want to gain the weight while I am working out to lose it! Good luck to you others.

I've had Fibromyalgia for a long time. The #1 thing, is to have a positive attitude. Get info. about this disease. Get moving. Start out slowly. Do what you are able to do, nothing more and nothing less. I know its hard to keep moving. But if u dont, ur stuck with no life. I've been down this road too. Get some physical therapy.

Have been to 4 neurologists and they all confirm that there is nothing seriously wrong with me neurologically and they put it down to stress. I have tried herbal remedies, acupuncture, body stress release, dietician, exercise, pain killers, massage, physio, posture modifying appliance, bean bags and oils, ice pack, pilates, chiropractor, daily meds like inderal and trepiline and still, nothing has been able to give me long te...
by rose81, 2 replies, updated 1 day ago.I was given the fantastic news that my body doesn't like itself anymore. I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

OMG, i feel so relieved that i am not the only one going through this and i know that something isn't wrong with me lol... but Loestrin 24 has put me through hell and back, i have been debating on whether or not i should just take a break off of it for awhile. I have been on it for 5 months now and the 1st few months my period was very lite then it got back to normal. One month i had my period and a week later i was spotting, i was so confused. It makes me sooooooooooooooooooooooo moody, i yell at my boyfriend sometimes for the dumbest things ever, and i feel so bad... i apologize bcuz i know he doesn't really do anything, i could watch a movie and just by someone being sad or making a sad face, i'd just cry!!!! IM SO EMOTIONAL ON THIS PILL! horrible headaches for like 3-4 days straight, cramping, breasts got bigger (that's a plus), so many cravings, not much energy,i feel i gained about 10 pounds, i feel so pregnant though i took 2 pregnancy tests and they both were negative! i got to get off this pill ASAP!
