"i used yaz for over a year and started having break through bleeding so my doctor decided to try me on loestrin 24fe.  i&#039;m on month three.  the first month my sex drive went up 200%.  my period lasted 2 1/2 days - one day heavy.  i was having 5 days with 2 of those being very heavy.  i couldn&#039;t believe it.  the second month my sex drive went back to normal but my period lasted only 2 days again with lots of cramping but only spotting.  i&#039;m hoping month three will be more normal.  the doctor said it would make my period last only a day which is awesome but like someone else wrote, it would be nice to have an actual period so i wouldn&#039;t think i was pregnant.  i never gained weight on yaz and i&#039;ve gained a few pounds with this pill."
