I HAVE BEEN TAKING LOESTRIN 24FE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT I STARTED TO NOTICE THE BREAKOUTS AND THE BLEEDING THAT NEVER STOPS ITS AWFUL I GET SICK I DNT KNW WHAT TO DO NOW......
I've been on Loestrin for a month, and have had a little bit of breakthrough bleeding. In the past I've been on Lo-ovral, Alesse, and another strong one I don't remember the name of. Compared to those others, this one rules! The side effects are practically non-existent. Give it a try! :)
I haven't been taking loestrin long enough to experience all the side effects(hopefully there won't be anymore, lol) , but i have been experiencing some off and on spotting for about a week now. My doctor told me that it may take a couple of cycles the whole "short period" thing kicks in just depends on the person.
I was on this for 5 + years and it worked great as far as effectiveness, shorter periods and no mood swings. The problem I had was the weight gain and breakouts on my face. Just this past month I switched to Yasmin at the request of my dermatologist.
Something about Loestrin and I did not go well together. I did not have weight gain or other issues, but my skin was a wreck. I switched to Levlite, and the greasy skin and breakouts went away within a week.
I was on Loestrin 24Fe for 7 years. I had a great experience w/it. It was effective, and I suffered no side effects. My periods got really short. By the time I got off of it, my periods lasted one day.
I'm taking Loestrin24Fe right now, and I haf breakthrough bleeding for a couple days. And I was suppost to get my period on the 21st but still haven't. I think it's because one of my pills fell down the drain so I missed it. But then again I could be pregnant. But enough about me haha I think loestrin24Fe is a good BC to take.
I took Loestrin - I had a TON of breakthrough bleeding.. which I never had on any type of birth control.. My periods, however, were light, no cramps, etc. I went OFF the pill because of the breakthrough bleeding.. and it stopped :)
Good Luck!
