abnormal uterine bleeding
"I am so surprised at the bad reviews this medication is getting. I first started taking birth control not because I was sexually active, but because I had terrible periods. Hemorrhaging to the point where no tampon could help me (something that runs in my female family). I started with Loestrin and my life changed, in a good way. My periods lightened up and I got to the point where I only had to wear thin pantiliners to get through my cycle. 

For some reason my doctor later switched me to Minastrin, and everything is still working as it was. Since starting birth control, I have gotten married, and it's now helping me with what it was made to do as well as beautifully managing my periods. Love it!"
