I am 34 yrs old and new to oral contraceptives. Have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about a month and a half and have noticed the following symptoms: shortness of breath, sore/tender breasts, vaginal dryness, extremely dry patchy skin (from otherwise having very oily skin), 2 periods in one month, hungry all the time - which has lead to overeating and weight gain, feelings of despair - lots of crying and mood swings, periodic tingling sensations in feet and lower legs.
My first period on the pill was shorter and pain was dulled, but second time the period was longer and had pain every day of my period which is unusual for me.
I think its time to jump off the Loestrin 24 ship...

I'm really tired, sleep more than I should.
I find myself going through mood swings, bursting into tears at simple things..
and I've gained 5-10 pounds.
So I fell horrible and I'm quitting from this pill.
