"i was on loestrin for 3 years. my experience on this pill was overall a good one. i was sexually active and never used back up, the pill kept all pregnancy scares away. cramps stopped and stayed away for 3 years until they reappeared suddenly and was one of the reasons i switched. i had little acne and no mood swings (to my knowledge), my breasts did grow almost 2 cup sizes. the only problem i had was due to my own fault. i never took my pill with anything and i&#039;d take it right before i went to bed. in the morning i would feel extremely ill. i fixed this with just taking my pill at dinner. i switched pills because all of a sudden i started bleeding and cramping all the time and not following the pill schedule."
