"i am 25 years old. just started taking loestrin 24fe. took it a week before my peroid. it&#039;s been two weeks since then. no period yet. haven&#039;t done the deed yet so i dont know how effective it is. started taking it due to being married soon (next week in fact). 
the problem is i&#039;m having shortness of breath and pain in my knee (thought it was pain due to walking home from work everyday, now not so sure. could be a possible blood clot. my calf is hurting as well. i&#039;m going to continue to take my pills but have compression socks on from now on to limit the clots if i have any.
i&#039;m healthy (except i have synthyroid) only 25, so i shouldn&#039;t be having problems like this right? i&#039;m keeping my legs over my heart as instructed to lessen the pain."
