"i was on loestrin 24fe for three years. i didn&#039;t realize until i stopped taking it but it made me a crazy person. i didn&#039;t feel like myself at all. when i started taking it i dropped 15-20 pounds within roughly 2 months and gained it all back almost instantly. i also had painful intercourse and very tender, lumpy breasts. i would never recommend this pill to anyone. now, i&#039;ve just started mononessa for pcos."
