"loestrin is about the 6th birth control pill that i have been on in the past 4 years.  yaz, ortho tri, sprintec, yasmin and now loestrin.  so far it has been one of my favorites.  the first month i was a bit moody but that subsided.  periods only last for about a 2 days at the very most. definitely increased my sex drive, no headaches or even pain around my period.  the only negative is that about 2 days before i start my period i tend to get really depressed but as soon as it starts the depression is gone and i&#039;m back to normal."
