I am in my second week of this pill and I suddenly developed a rash all over my face, mostly on my cheeks and on my eye lids near the bridge of my nose. Has anyone else experienced these side effects??

I have been on these devil pills to stop breakthrough bleeding and it made it worse!!! As a matter of fact, it added to it. I would have mild acne during my period from time to time. I now look like I have road rash on my face!!! I have tried everything including Proactiv. NOTHING works except getting off of them!
I work out 5 days a week, including weight training. I diet and exercise diligently. I have put on almost 10 pounds in less than 3 months. Not muscle... I can't seem to stop it.
My chest went up OVER a cup size. When you're a C with an athletic body and go up to almost a DD, it is NOT good. I was so desperate to get off of these, I called my doctor and quit mid pack. I was told it's ok so as long as you wait until your next period (not the spotting that comes after quitting mid-pack) to start a new pill. Probably better to wait a couple of cycles.
My advice
===STAY AWAY FROM THESE PILLS===
If you are on them, get off ASAP! Good luck, ladies. Hope this helps someone out!

I was on Loestrin 24 for about a year, but had to stop and try another because it seemed to not be working for me anymore. I gained 1/2 a cup size (which I don't need), experienced bad mood swings and increased swing emotions, and I developed a rash underneath my breasts, behind my knees, and in the crease of my elbows. I had thought that the rash was my own sensitive skin reacting, but it was not the case. This pill was not good for me, and I hope any woman who is considering it reads these postings and declines it. I now take Yaz, and so far so good! Sex drive has returned and no more bleeding.

I have been on Loestrin 24 Fe for 2 months now and have developed a rash underneath my breasts, arms, creases of the back of my legs, and inside the creases of my thighs. Anyone else with this type of problem?

I've been on the pill since early January. I got put on it so i wouldn't get pregnant and to regulate my period. About a month ago i started having real problems with it. I've had a headache every single day... and it doesn't start until a little while after taking the pill and in the mornings before i take it im fine. I've been feeling really sick after i take it to the point where i feel like i'm going to throw up but i haven't actually yet. I'm depressed and having horrible mood swings. i'm starting arguments and yelling at my boyfriend for the stupidest reasons but i just can't stop i dunno whats wrong. i'm barely 18 and i used to be the happiest person you know. i know i need to be on some form of birth control but im worried that all other pills are going to have similar effects. It's practically ruining my relationship because i get out of control angry within seconds at times. Last month i missed a pill... but you what? That whole day i was headache free so i know the pill is whats having an effect on me. I'm having trouble sleeping, i wake up multiple times throughout the night which never used to happen... even though the pill eventually gives you shorter periods, it messes you up. its not worth it.

Ok so because I have to pay $65 bucks a month for my normal bcp (Loestrin24fe) was a cheap way for me to be safe when I say cheap I mean free. My sister takes this pill and she is now with child. She filled her prescript before she found out she was going to have a baby. I figure they should not go to the trash so can save some cash and get free pills right! wrong. This is the pill from helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll run run run I took my last pill on Sunday at 5:00 this morning i woke up to the cramps from hell my period came i only had to change 2x when its normally like 6-7 when i went to change to the 3rd kotex i had a small clump of blood on this has never happened before last week i broke out in a rash all over my chest and neck my chest is tight and i feel like it is going to close in on me. I have pain in my legs and i feel like someone has beat me in the head with a bat. this will teach me to take the cheap way out
