"i started using the birth control loestrin about a month ago and have finished the first cycle. i was concerned with trying it having read mixed reviews about the pill and figured i&#039;d put in my experience. i&#039;m 21 years old and have never taken any form of birth control before this one. the only symptoms i have experienced was some spotting. so far i haven&#039;t had any mood swings, headaches, nausea, etc. i like this birth control and so far i plan on sticking with it, it&#039;s always important to remember that everyone will have different experiences with medicines and find the one that works for you."
