"for the first couple of months i really liked loestrin, but between the mid cycle bleeding, being overly emotional and the bloating i am done.  i have been on this pill 9 months, following the birth of my son.  over the last 2 months the bloating has gotten so bad that i had to buy larger pants!  i almost look pregnant again.  yes i had lighter periods, and my skin is clearer but the rest is just not worth it."
