"i never got pregnant taking loestrin 24 fe, so it was successful at doing its job, however, there were a few side effects. i actually lost weight while taking it- since that was my aim. but, it did make me very emotional and very sexually interested. also, i spot bled throughout the entire month. i would typically just wear a panty liner every day- kind of annoying. that&#039;s why i give it a 7/ 10- it was effective at doing what it was supposed to do, but it certainly did not improve the overall quality of my life."
