"i&#039;m 19 and i have been taking loestrin 24 for almost a month.  my periods used to be moderately heavy with a lot of cramping and would last at least 7 days.  i started my period on a friday and started taking the pill on the next sunday.  my period stopped before the end of the next day.  i have experienced a little nausea.  one day my stomach hurt so bad i thought i was going to puke.  it has also made me more depressed and moody.  another complaint i have is the time between my periods.  it used to be so regular, 28 days every time.  i just started my period after only 24 days.  i am not happy about this at all, it ruined my vacation.  other than this, no other side effects.  no acne, weight gain, or anything else i&#039;ve noticed."
