"i am 28 years old, 125lbs, extremely active with dance, gym and sports.  i take the pill at just about the same time everyday, give or take 15 minutes.  have a pretty healthy diet.  i started loestrin to prevent pregnancy.  i&#039;ve been on it for 3 weeks and for the most part happy so far.  here are my symptoms:

wk 1 --&gt; severe bloating, daily nausea.  5 lb weight gain, but i&#039;m thinking that was due to not being able to workout due to feeling dizzy.

wk 2 --&gt; bloating gone.  nausea gone.  feeling back to normal. some mild spotting for a day.  increased a cup size.  skin looks great and feels smoother.

wk 3 --&gt; feel perfectly normal.  lost the weight i gained the 1st week."
