"i&#039;m 22, and this is my first time on birth control. i&#039;ve been on loestrin for 8 days now, and i&#039;m only taking it to prepare my body for when i get married in a few months, so i&#039;m not using it to prevent pregnancy at this moment. the first few days i was kind of shaky and dizzy, but the past 3 days, i&#039;ve felt nauseous and very tired. at this point, i&#039;m wondering if it&#039;s worth it to feel bad on a daily basis? i&#039;m going to continue taking the pill, but i might switch to taking it at night, like some reviews have suggested. i&#039;m optimistic that the side effects will wear off after a month or two. i&#039;ll try to post another review after i&#039;ve gone through a pack or two."
