"I have been taking Loestrin 24 for a year now, and have to say that it is amazing. I'd been through three birth control pills before this one, which all lead to serious infections and had little effect on my extreme PMS symptoms. Since starting Loestrin, I have had shorter, lighter, predictable periods. To have one last for more than four days is rare, and I am able to continue my active lifestyle which was inhibited by unbearable cramps that would keep me in bed for several days before. I have not experienced any weight gain as a side effect of this medication. However, I did, and continue to, notice a change in mood on my "off" days, which can be best described as generally sad and down."
