"I have been on Loestrin 24 for about 5 and a half months.  For the first 2 months, it was horrible.  I was bleeding consistently for like 20 days in a row and the bleeding would only stop for a few days every couple weeks. I was extremely moody and angry and I did gain a little bit of weight.  Also, my acne went away slightly but nothing dramatic.  On about the 3rd month on the pill, my period FINALLY started getting normal.  The breakthrough bleeding stopped and my period is now very very light and not painful.  I get breakouts and breast tenderness the week before my period, but it's not bad at all.  My advice to those who just started: WAIT IT OUT. It's incredibly frustrating, but it takes a little bit of time for your body to adjust!"
