"i had tried loestrin for about 6 months and didn&#039;t really like it! i gave it a 5 because it was an effective method of birth control which was the main reason i tried it but the one thing i didn&#039;t like was everytime i missed a pill i started my period. but the thing i hated the most was it would make me dry out during sex, so embarrasing. never again! i&#039;ve been off it for about 4 months and its still happening wouldn&#039;t dare recommend it."
