For Birth Control "I have been taking Loestrin Fe 1/20 for almost 3 months, and it is awful!!! I have breakthrough bleeding more often than not, and this stuff makes me vomit daily. I know it’s the pill because once I take the placebo pills, no more vomiting. I do not recommend."

For Birth Control "I started taking Loestrin 1/20 in the middle of November, and I did not experience any weight gain, my weight stayed the same. However, I did notice more acne on my back as well as a few on my face. They went away, however, I still noticed that my skin was breaking out more, which defeated the purpose of taking the pill since I mainly like taking it for acne control. The worst side effect was bleeding for more than 2 and a half weeks, almost 3 weeks, on this pill. In the middle of December, I started bleeding even though I take the pills at the same time every single day. This is annoying. I will be switching to a new pill once this pack is finished. Overall, I would say that it is a good pill despite the constant bleeding, which is annoying."

For Birth Control "I was on this birth control pill in 1999 when I was 18. I took it for 6 months before I decided to stop using it. I did not have any problems with acne or cramps during use, but a serious increase in both directly after stopping. The problem for me was extreme nausea, depression, weight gain, mid-cycle bleeding, and dryness. I now realize that taking hormonal birth control, especially before having children, causes many bad side effects long-term. I would not recommend any hormonal birth control pills for anyone and wish I had never taken any."

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "This pill has given me nothing but trouble. I am now double dosing until my D&C to see if it will stop the bleeding that it caused me for over a month. I should have just lived with the irregular cycles instead of this constant bleeding!"
