Anyone on Loestrin 24 Fe
| Fri, 11-03-2006 - 1:32pm |
Hello everybody,
I just got off Depo Shot and started Loestrin 24 Fe. Anyone had any problems with it? What common side effect are you girls having with this new birth control?
Georganna

Also, just over the past few weeks, I have noticed extreme breast somreness. walking up and down the stairs actually hurts them, as does laying on my side. this is new, and I don't know if it's due to the loestrin, but I will say I am looking forward to switching
I wish you luck and I really hope it owrks out better for you than me.
I just started Loestrin FE this week after three months on Yaz. I haven't been on it long enough to say too much although I have noticed that I haven't had the breast tenderness I had on Yaz after a week's worth of pills. With the other pill, my breasts would be incredibly sore even after only a few days. We'll see what happens in the future, but so far so good. No nausea or spotting either.
For the record, (in case other people are searching for the right pill) I liked Yaz but the doctor switched me because it was causing a lot of leg cramping.
Everyone is different, so I guess there's a lot of trial and error.
Good luck!
just venting a little.
thanks
It's possible that you're not getting enough estrogen.
Loestrin 24 is just new packaging of a pill that has been around for a long time.
also yasmin gave me breast soreness. will yaz do the same thing? this is all so frustrating.
i haven't been treating with yeast infection creams- not after the forst try back in june, but he has me on diflucan-which does seem to make me feel better for a while. i don't know why.
thanks
When you consider the estrogen in a pill, you also have to consider what progestin is paired with it and how much.
