"i love my loestrin. it was the first pill i was ever put on, and i was put on it at a young age (freshman year of high school) because my period used to be unbearable. i&#039;m talking crippling pain from cramps, to the point where i couldn&#039;t go to school for days. i went off of it for a while, for no reason other than i was too lazy to get my prescription refilled (haha). i am now back on it as a freshman in college, and i fell in love with the drug again! my skin (which i&#039;ve recently had bad acne issues for some reasons) is finally clearing up, i haven&#039;t gained a pound, my breasts are growing (thank goodness), and my period is light as a feather and only lasts two to three days. i highly suggest this pill."
