"i&#039;ve been on loestrin for about 9 months.  the first several months my flow was significantly reduced which i liked. i did experience some moodiness.  one moody episode was worse than my prior pills but i decided to stick with it and see what happens.  i&#039;m glad i did.  after several pregnancy scares because i didn&#039;t get my period, my doctor reassured me that it was normal and the pregnancy tests were all negative.  now, either my flow is panty liner light or i don&#039;t get it at all.  i don&#039;t mind it but i would like the reassurance of my period to prove i&#039;m not pregnant.  but i really like the pill.  i don&#039;t have any more moodiness at all. my skin cleared up amazingly and i rarely have any bloating.
