"people must realize that everyone&#039;s bodies are different and will react to hormones differently. i am currently 19 and started loestrin 24 last year. i had no problems with it and loved it except that i gained around 15 pounds (although this could have been caused by the infamous freshmen 15). i went on aviane to see if my weight would go back to normal and now am deciding to switch back to loestrin 24 after it didn&#039;t. i loved having light periods for maybe 3 days tops on loestrin and now am having my period for up to a week on aviane. i liked loestrin and didn&#039;t have any problems with it. everyone&#039;s bodies will have different reactions to birth control. remember to give yourself a few months to get adjusted to the hormones."
