Wow this page has helped me so much! I really thought I had lost my mind! I started these pills 2 months ago. I'm not sexually active but have very severe periods due to an ovarian disease. My OBGYN thought birth control would be the best choice. At first everything was great the cramps(which lasted 3 weeks out of the month for me) were gone! my mood did change. I've always been a very happy person and all at once I was this mean crazed person! I couldn't think about anything without feeling mad or angry or just wanting to cry. Then last week I got my first period after taking the pill I was in shock because I didn't even know it was coming. 4 days long I was so happy. I was off my period Wednesday and awoke Thanksgiving morning with the worst pain I've ever felt in my entire life. I went to the ER and they thought it was my gallbladder I've been having tests done all week. Well Sunday I got my period again!!! It's so much more intense then I've ever had in my entire life! It's now day 5 of my second period in 2 weeks and I was talking with my grandmother when she suggested maybe the whole problem was my BC. I read the little info pack the pills come with and was in complete shock. I decided to look up side effects and am so glad I did. I'm calling my doctor first thing tomorrow so maybe finally something can be done. Since I started this pill I've lost my appetite and been tired and bitchy nonstop! But with not eating I've gained weight! It's horrible!! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! Good luck to everyone else whose coming off of the pill or just started it!

ok, so i've been on loestrin 24 for a week or so, and i know it hasnt been long but i feel like a ticking time bomb! I feel shaky and jittery and moooooody! My teacher told me th other day to go find something to do...alone...so i could chill out b/c my temper was showing it's ugly face. I've been on ortho before and my blood pressure shot up, the moodiness and stuff was better but I haven't had any kind of problem like these. I don't know if i should wait it out some more or what. I'm not quite sure if my classmates or my family can take much more...OH...and the weight gain, I've noticed some bloating and i'm not a small girl and i already have DDD boobs....have a lot of you had breast size increase? let me know if you have any advise.....kurtney_monster@yahoo.com

This is my first experience with the pill .I recently started taking Loestrin 24 Fe about 4 days ago due to being on my period for a little over 3 weeks. My Dr.told me to take double doses for the first 3 days he highly recommended it even though I'm a bit skeptical especially after reading everyones Horror stories about it. Ever since I've started taking them I have these really Sharp HEADACHES.. and extremely emotional. I Don't know if this is just normal or if it's signs of something possibly more serious. I've read a lot about blood clots and that's what freaks me out the most( I don't drink/smoke) Should I be alarmed?? Could it be just my anxiety.. I've been freaking out so much that I'm contemplating not taking it anymore someone help?! Any INSIGHT?????
Thanks!
