Hi,

I have been on Yaz for three months and loved it besides the fact that it totally decreased my sex drive and therefore my sex life. I am switching to Loestrin 24 today and am wondering what other's experiences with Loestrin 24 have been?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm on month 5 of Loestrin 24. The first three months, I had spotting midcycle. Each month, the spotting lasted for 3 or 4 days. I also felt kinda PMS-y all the time. Last month, no spotting, but I still felt gross. This month, no spotting and I finally feel like myself again. I am currently battling a yeast infection, but my doctor is pretty sure it's a coincidence and not related to Loestrin. I hope she's right!

My sex drive has been fine, so that's a good thing for sure. Good luck! I hope it works out for you. I hope it works out for me, too!

I took Loestrin 1.5/30 for four years (about four years ago).
