"i love this! i have been on 2 other types of birth control before loestrin and they both made me a crazy person! i don&#039;t have any mood swings and haven&#039;t gained any weight, in fact i&#039;ve lost weight! the only negative thing i have to say is i&#039;m pretty sure that it made my breasts bigger, but hubby isn&#039;t complaining. it can be pricey if you don&#039;t have insurance, but for me its worth it because i have zero side effects. the first month i had spotting and now i get my period every month, its very light, and lasts 2-3 days. its best to remember that every birth control is different for each individual. i was skeptical about trying loestrin 24 when i read the reviews, but i tried it anyways and i don&#039;t regret it!"
