I have been taking Loestrin for close to two months now and its driving me crazy. The sole purpose for taking the pill was to regulate my excessively long periods (5-7 days). About four days after taking it, I started what is called breakthrough bleeding. My dr. said its completely normal and since then, I've been spotting everyday! It normally takes your body three months to adjust to the pill but I am not even sure I want to continue taking it. I am dating someone new and we haven't been intimate often because I do not feel comfortable doing so spotting. He's been extremely patient and he's great about it but I am getting the opposite results of what I had hoped for. I must say I have pretty decent skin and am usually pimple/zit free, but I've noticed I've been getting some zits on my face more than usual. I am unsure if this is a direct result of Loestrin or not. I am going to complete my three months and hope that I get fewer and lighter periods as the pill suggests. I've read so many different reviews on the pill that I am unsure what to think anymore!!!

I just finished my first month on Le 24 and I am only taking it to regulate my periods (I am peri-menopausal). Unfortunately, I have now had break-through bleeding that I guess turned into a period (all of it HEAVY) for 14 days straight. My nurse-midwife assures me that it takes 3 months to allow this pill to work well and to let the body settle down, but I am tired as a dog and I am sure anemic at this point! Not to mention the zits! I do like the perkier breasts and my tummy is flat. Lots of blood but no cramping. I don't get it? I am getting a little depressed and this is KILLING our sex-life! I am going to keep reading this to see what other's experiences are and If things don't improve soon, I am looking for a better answer!

I'm 18 and I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe since august. I haven't experienced any weight gain, but although I've never had but the occasional 3-4 zits at a time, I've had to go on Proactive to combat the breakouts that keep trying to happen on my face. I've noticed that i will wake up and it will just be a aggravating day. But all of a sudden a switch flips and I'm the giddiest thing alive. And two more hours it's gone. Also I'll go thru a stage about a week and half before i WOULD get my period, if i still got one, my breasts will stay sore and tender so where i have to watch how i play around with my boyfriend. I only began having sex about 3 months before i was put on loestrin but i noticed that around my 3rd month or so on this pill (around November) i became VERY sexually aroused all the time. Honestly i think my boyfriend gets tired of it sometimes, but i just can't help myself. I've been seeing the opposite feedback from most posts on here, so if someone has a similar one please reply or post, Especially about the OVER SEXED part.
