"i&#039;ve been on loestrin almost 2 years now and have no real complaints! nowhere near the weight gain i had while previously on depo (maybe a pound or 2 on loestrin) and my breasts have become significantly bigger (to the happiness of my boyfriend) and my skin is so much smoother (also huge perk for him). i would really give it a 9.5 rating because those times when my period comes a day or 2 later then it should (because it only lasts 2 days at max) i start worrying if i&#039;m pregnant, but in the end, never am! my doctor said if i hated the paranoia then to use a back up birth control too."
