"i didn&#039;t have too many side effects and it worked great! the main thing was that i didn&#039;t have a period for over 5 months (the dr. said everything was fine and that this was normal) i&#039;ve been on it for a year, but am stopping this month. i started it a few months before i got married. we never had sex before marriage, but within 2 months of starting loestrin, my physical attraction completely dropped! we tried everything after marriage: vitamins, stimulation, etc. nothing worked. it&#039;s causing a huge strain on our marriage, so we&#039;re moving onto a hormone free method. everyone reacts differently, so i suggest try it for 6 months or so then decide."
