"I'm 42 years old and prior to taking Loestrin 24, I had one day of bad cramping with my period which lasted 5 days.  I started this pill after my period and for 15 days I bled and it was the worst cramping in my life.  Besides the weight I added in those 15 days that I had lost in the prior month, I was bloated, couldn't sleep through the night, and had terrible headaches.  "
