birth control
"I was prescribed Loestrin 24 for both birth control and because of heavy cramping.  During the first two weeks I started breaking out a bit, but afterward, my complexion was completely clear.  My periods were light, the cramping stopped, and I didn't get pregnant during the 5 months that I was on it.  Just be warned- I gained approximately 13lbs.  I was underweight so this made me extremely happy, but obviously not everyone would be thrilled with the extra weight.  I found that my appetite increased tremendously, to the point where I couldn't seem to get full.  However, like I said, this was extremely beneficial to me.  I love this pill."
