"i was on loestrin fe 24 from november 2011 to november 2012. when i moved,  my new doctor had no samples of the loestrin and moved me to microgestein fe 1/20. my libido was lowered slightly bit considering on the loestrin i was a little oversexual, the lowered drive was a relief. my periods on both pills came every other to every two months. since i am sexually active, i take a pregnancy test after i finish my inactive pills every month just to be sure, however, it&#039;s been effective as a contraceptive. between the two pills, i have maintained 60 lbs of weight loss postpartum for nearly two years that i had gained while on depo provera and during pregnancy. no change in bust size except some swelling before my period.
