"i am so happy to find these reviews. i originally tried loestrin 24 a few years ago and it was great! however, i went to back school and could not afford it anymore. i started using it again a few months ago. i felt tired all of the time and never had any energy. i would always get really bloated, experienced symptoms of pregnancy. my mom was even convinced i was pregnant due to my symptoms, breast tenderness, but i decided to stay on this pill because i now have short periods. can wear pantyliner when on my cycle and cramps only the 1st day of my cycle. however, i have been a nutbasket, my moods are all over the place, i am always angry, sad, crying for no reason, argumentative. i couldn&#039;t figure out why."
