birth control
"I am 17, and I started taking Loestrin on day one of my period as instructed. I had my period for nearly 2 weeks on the active pills (normally they didn't last more than 4 days). I didn't have a period at the end of that cycle, but I attributed it to the bleeding in the beginning. In the middle of my second cycle I experienced severe nausea, anxiety, bloating, and breast enlargement. I then started worrying about the missed period because the symptoms corresponded to pregnancy. Although I had not missed any pills and had also used a condom, I felt paranoid about pregnancy. Having had mild anxiety problems before, Loestrin has amplified them. I do not recommend Loestrin to anybody with anxiety issues."
