"it was horrible. hated my life while taking it. never had bad acne before until this. during the second week of taking loestrin i got really bad and painful cystic acne. it wasn&#039;t just on my face, it was all over my body. it got to a point where i didn&#039;t feel like walking out of my house because of it. mind you, this happened over the course of only 2 weeks. i also felt super depressed and moody, nauseous. i didn&#039;t feel like myself. it helped my cramps, but it definitely not worth it. switching to another bc. i was hopeful everything would be fine, but it turned out to be a hellish experience. would not recommend to anyone for sure."
