Okay, I am 16, have never taken any birth control,and I am in my 3rd week of Loestrin. My doctor told me that if i started the pill on the first day of my period (august 1) that i would not have to wait to have UNPROTECTED sex, but to be safe, my boyfriend and I waited until august 7th to have sex, we also had sex on the 12th. Around the 15th I had some light pink discharge that lasted for 2 days...this worried me a little but i did not think much of it. Soon after that I started having back pains, cramps, nausea, headaches, my breasts are swollen, VERY tender, nipples are larger/darker, you can see the blue veins in them also. I have been picky about foods,discharge has increased, and have had terrible heartburn and have been extremely emotional. I have also had pains in my knees and ankles, and smells make me very sick to my stomach. I am very worried that I am pregnant.....but I am not supposed to get my period until the 28th so I have to wait...if anyone has been pregnant or had these symptoms on Loestrin PLEASE let me know....Thanks!

I am so happy I looked into and found this web site. I couldn't figure out what was going on with me! I turned 40 and thought this sucks, I'm falling apart. First I've gained 15 lbs AFTER I lost all my pregnancy weight. My scalp is so itchy and flakey (been to the dermatologist 2x about that). Pain in my lower back and down my leg (my chiropractor sees me every week for that). My back just below my neck won't stop itching. My sex drive....nope not for about 8 months since I had it inserted. My periods are crazy, heavy bleeding for a week, goes away then thick pink discharge for a week. I called my doctor this past Friday and have an appointment to have it removed next week. I sure hope I start feeling better. I never would have thought these problems were from the Mirena, my doctor never told me any of these side effects. We have to do our own research, I sure wish I had!!
