"i have been using loestrin for about a year now and at first i had horrible mood swings, i was hungry all the time, and my breasts hurt. overall though i loved the pill because it made me have shorter periods and it made my breasts bigger. after a while, however, i started gaining weight in all the wrong places. when i started loestrin i was 105 lbs now i am 125 lbs. i have tried everything to lose the weight and i haven&#039;t had any luck. i am switching this week!"
