"i started lo loestrin in july and found my self becoming very stressed out and depressed all the time. i also felt easily angered so i decided to stop taking it. my period pains came back and i decided to retry it in december. since then i&#039;ve gained 5 pounds and bloat super easy! even when i only eat small meals. i also have been getting strong persistent cramps every night. i&#039;m looking to switch to a different birth control."
