birth control
"I have been on Loestrin for about a week. The only side effects I've had have been irritability/mood swings and anxiety after taking the pill. I also noticed an increase in sexual desire, but less of an ability to obtain orgasms.  In addition, just mild headaches. However, I'm ECSTATIC that I have not experienced any bloating or weight gain the first few days of taking the pill. When on Yaz and Yasmin I experienced that immediately almost with an addition of 8 lbs weight gain. I've been able to actually lose weight in the last week and my desire to exercise still exists. On Yaz/Yasmin I was so relaxed - which was great. However, I felt more lazy and was not as motivated to exercise. So far, I would choose Loestrin over all!"
