"i was on loestrin for about 2 years. it was the first birth control i had ever been on. i went on it for severe cramps and heavy bleeding. on loestrin i did not experience any period whatsoever. i was reassured that it was completely healthy and normal, which i believe to be true. i was very satisfied with the pill, except for now that i&#039;m on a new pill to induce my period, i do not get it."
