"i have been on loestrin 24 fe for almost 4 years. it was my favorite out of all the birth controls i tried until this year. i am 5&#039;6-5&#039;7 and have always been about 125-130 pounds. i am now about 150-160 pounds, i skipped a period two months ago, got this months period late. i am not pregnant. i will randomly feel sick and depressed. i have lost my sex drive and my boobs will hurt. i have extreme cramps and find myself experiencing tons of mood swings. i think it is time to switch to something else."
