"i am 18 and had my first child 18 months ago. i started loestrin to prevent pregnancy. i am a week into my second pack. the first 2 weeks i had some nausea and i am still getting bloating and sore breasts but other than that it has been good. my periods were always light and the first period i had while using loestrin 24 fe was 3 days of pantyliner, light bleeding and very very mild cramping, which was reassuring but not annoying. i would recommend."
