"i have been on loestrin for about 2 months now and i am not satisfied with the result so far. i got on this pill to regulate my periods because i am 18 and wouldn&#039;t have a period for about 5 or 6 months apart and the pill has somewhat regulated that but my acne is absolutely horrible. i never had big problems with acne before just little break outs here and there before periods but now i have horrible acne on my cheeks, and its left brown spots behind. i am going to either get off the pill completely or change to another if it doesn&#039;t get better within the next 2 weeks. i have also gained 5 pounds, and gone up a cup size."
