Hi all,

My doctor just switched me to Loestrin 24 Fe. I was on Cryselle, and was switched to the Nuvaring due to melasma (dark spots on my face, high BP). I found out one week later that I was going to have some procedures done "down there" so the Nuvaring was no longer an option. Therefore, I am starting Loestrin next week. Any experiences? Thanks in advance!

I've been on Loestrin 24 FE for 5 months now. I had trouble with spotting/break through bleeding for the first three months. Month four, no weird bleeding but I felt gross a lot of the time. (I also felt gross sometimes during the first three months...sort of PMS-y.) This month, I feel OK but I never got my period. (Took a HPT which came out negative--thank goodness!) I think it'll be a good pill if my body ever adapts to it. Right now, it's very frustrating because I still don't know what's normal for me. I'm hoping after another month, I'll have things all straightened out!

Good luck!
