Loestrin 24 Fe and ovaries

I had been on Yaz for one year and loved it for the most part. I didn't gain weight, my adult acne cleared, and my periods were very light. However, right the week before my period I would become depressed. My gyno found a very large cyst on one of my ovaries and told me that I should not have one that large while being on birth control. She told me Yaz was not right for me and I could not longer take it. I begged her to prescribe me Yasmin, she said NO. She thought Loestrin would be the best, so she put me on Loestrin 24 for 6 weeks to see if it shrinks, if it doesn't she will remove it. I have only been on Loestrin for 5 days and it has completely turned my world upside down! I have no sex drive, dryness down there, my face is breaking out, and I have been super down. I hate it!!!!! I hope that when I go back for a re-check that my cyst is still there so she can see that Loestrin is not right for me! I hate being on birth control and would love to stop taking any form of it, but it looks like my body cant regulate it's self, I just hope I can find a birth control that is right for me. Good luck everyone with Loestrin and if you find a birth control that works let me know! Take care.

Well I just started 2 days ago taking this BC and I so far have none of the symptoms most of the ladies are stating here. I will start keeping a journal to track my symptoms if they should start.
Now the 1st day of taking the pill I did have a headache but Im very sensitive to salt and didn't drink much water that day so I can not say it was the BC pills. Im excited to be on these BC pills because my periods were HORRIBLE. I just want to wait for menopause and keep my body parts. I also have cysts on both my ovaries.
I m just hoping this will work for me.

My doctor prescribed Loestrin 24 for me even though I have my tubal ligation because I have cyst in my ovaries and fibroid tumors. The birth control was suppose to elliminate the cyst. It did the first month I was on it. I had cyst tissue and bleeding throughout the entire first month. I have been bleeding everyday for two months now. I do take them everyday at the same time but that has not changed anything. I am always fatigue, cant get out of bed. Go to work and as soon as I get home I am in bed again. I feel very depressed and very moody. I cant sleep at night but I cant get out of bed either. I am always hungry and I just developed acne. As several of the other people state my doctor says its unusual and that the birth control has nothing to do with my depression or side effects. I have had so much blood work done and it always comes back normal. I think that the doctors want to see how long if ever the side effects will subside before they say just get off. But like other I was told it takes 3 months to get over the side effects but they have reassured me this pill does not cause depression. After reading all of the comments I am going to stop takng the birth control. Thank you

My daughter is 13 yrs. the doctor put her on loestrin 24,in Feb.to help with cysts and she has been bleeding since march 3,2008.She is still having more cysts on her ovaries with pain.She is about to start her 3rd pack of pills.she eats all the time like she is starving.she is small built and she was active till the pill.does anyone have any suggestions?

recently I went to the doctor and I told her ive had break through bleeding and was on orthocy lo. She told me that possibly having a straight dose of hormones the whole month may help that. So I switched. After the first week on loestrin, I was miserable. I cried for three days straight, I was moody, miserable, and gained two pounds. Now I am almost done with my pack and ive gained almost 5 pounds. The mood swings stopped but I started to get severe cramping in my ovaries for no reason. I had sex the other night and was very dry. After, I got such bad cramps that I threw up and just today I woke up from a nap in so much pain I couldn't move. I guess I would rather have break through bleeding than all these crazy side effects. When I get mr period I am goi g to start taking my old pills again. Any advice on a pill that doesn't cause break thru bleedding or any of the loestrin side effects?!

I have been on some form of LoEstrin for about a year.At first, I thought the side effects were normal hormone changes with pills.But as months went on, I was incredibly anxious and having panic attacks constantly and that's not my personality.I was more irritable and just didn't feel like me at all.My boyfriend tells me I'm freaking him out because I'm not acting myself at all.I feel like I'm literally going crazy.
I wanted a low hormone pill because my body seems to react to crazy amounts of hormones.I have never gotten a period on this pill and being a woman, I feel it's healthy to have one and it can cause more damage in the long run not having one.Every doctor I see says it's totally normal to not get a period.I disagree.I'm off my pill this week and have no intentions of ever getting back on this pill.
I've been looking into no hormone birth control and am interested in IUDs, specifically Copper IUD.I just can't find any luck with pills and am sick of all these side effects.When are they coming out with the male birth control????
