"i have been taking loestrin 24 for almost a year now and at first i really haven&#039;t had any problems with it. i loved it. i used to have my periods for a full 7 days straight and really heavy.  now i only get it 2-3 days and its super light, which is amazing! some side effects i hate with it though is i get so emotional so easily.  another this is i have absolutely no sex drive.  we went from doing it all the time to now once or twice a month. i feel bad but what can i do.  i always get my period the day i start the brown pill and now this month i haven&#039;t gotten it.  i want the reassurance of getting it for at least a day so i don&#039;t freak out thinking i&#039;m pregnant."
