"After 2 months on the generic form of this pill, my doctor suggested I move to Loestrin. It seemed pretty awesome because for the 3 months I was on it, I had no periods or cramps. I did experience weight gain, breast tenderness, major mood swings, loss of libido and slight increase in acne. Personally, I loved not having periods. It was cool and it saved me money on tampons. But the lack of sex drive was enough to convince me and my doctor that this wasn't the birth control for me. I've switched to Ortho Tri-cyclen and lost the 7 pounds I had gained in the 3 months I was on Loestrin. I'm cramping and having periods again but my sex drive is back at a decent level and my emotions are better in check. 

Don't be afraid to switch birth controls."
