"i am 19 years old and have been taking loestrin 24 fe for almost three years. i have not had a lot of problems with this birth control. it made my breasts a lot bigger, i went from a 32a to 32c and i haven&#039;t gained any weight in the past three years. i recently have been thinking about changing birth controls due to the fact that i&#039;ve been having a lot of stomach issues, and this is the last thing i can think of that might be the problem. i am going to schedule an appointment with my doctor to see what he thinks. i use to have periods that lasted at least seven days and after about 3 months of taking loestrin 24 it dwindled down to two days. i have very light periods and they are really short!"
