"i have been using loestrin 24 fe for 7 months. i love the fact that my periods are a lot lighter, because lord knows i had the longest most painful periods ever! my breasts have grown a whole cup size and they feel as though they might keep growing. i love the weight in my breasts but i have gained 5 pounds, and i eat the same if not better than before i got on the pill and i exercise just as much so i&#039;m considering stopping the pill and switching to another method of birth control because weight gain and me do not mix well! i have had a large amount of spot bleeding, it has decreased as the months have gone on. other than the weight gain this pill has been my best fiend, so if it doesn&#039;t seem to make you gain weight i would say it is the best!"
