"i was origininally on loestrin 24 fe for almost three years, i then switched to this because loestrin 24 fe switched brands i guess? so i figured i&#039;d try something new. i&#039;m 19 and have now been on lo loestrin for almost 2 months, i have noticed a major breakout of acne in my chin area. i never breakout so it was very unusual for that to occur, i as well noticed a weight gain of abuout 5-6 pounds just in these two months. i am pretty active and eat well and normally can&#039;t gain weight, so i am still not happy about that. i have also noticed having intense headaches, i&#039;m not sure if its from the birth control, but i&#039;ve never had them like this before. the pill does decrease any cramping or nausea i had previously. probably going to switch back"
