I will be starting Loestrin soon and I am wondering what possible side effects there. I know that they are listed on the PI sheet, but that doesn't always mean anything. Any thoughts and comments would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi balletkat, welcome!

While you are waiting for other members to share their Loestrin experiences you might want to read the posts in our FAQs about common pill side effects, irregular bleeding and taking your pill correctly. There is a ton of good information in those posts for new BCP users.

Thanks for stopping by. If you have more questions, ask away! Let us know how you like Loestrin, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

I took Loestrin for about four or so years, roughly mid-1998- early 2002.

Thanks for the comments. I am starting it to help with my period. I think that it got that way from other meds I'm on, but it is good ot know what to look for as possible side effects.

Thanks,
Mary
