"i was on loestrin 1/20 for about a year and a half, and on loestrin 24 fe before that. i loved both of the pills and would highly recommend them, for most people. however, i had to stop taking loestrin 1/20 because my doctor and i believe that it is the reason behind me not having a period at all for 3 months. up until that happened, the pill was fine. a little acne around the time of the period, but that happened before i was on birth control. no weight gain, no bloating, very few cramps, and no moodiness at all."
