"i&#039;ve been on loestrin for 5 weeks now. i had many side effects so far. i&#039;ve had the heavy spotting almost like a regular period 2 weeks before my actual period suppose to start. my breast are tender and i feel nausea all the time. i take mine before i go to bed and they said take it with food it should help with the nausea. i get dizzy and very moody. i do mean moody! i thought about stopping but i read from others to stick with it and it will get better. i just had a baby six months ago so i know my hormones need time to get adjust with this pill too. i&#039;m going to keep trying to take it and wait and see if i feel better."
