"i&#039;ve been on loestrin 24 fe for about 3 years now, and i love it. i have never taken any other birth control pills, so i have nothing to compare it to. the first two months i had long irregular periods. since then i haven&#039;t had a period (except when i skipped some pills). i have noticed that my breasts are larger, some irritability and a decreased sex dive, but none of the side effects are constant or bad enough to change brands. the irritability and decreased sex drive could just be stress related. i would recommend loestrin 24 fe to other woman."
