"due to my highly irregular and heavy periods my doctor prescribed loestrin 24 fe. i&#039;m only on my 2nd week so some side effects right now are slight nausea, headaches and some light bleeding. they&#039;re not unbearable either, very tolerable. i&#039;m off to a good start with this pill, it has actually already started to clear up my skin a little and so far i&#039;ve experienced no other changes like mood swings, bloating, weight gain etc. but i&#039;ll have to wait and see i guess, so far though i really like it."
