"I am fifteen years old and I have been on LoEstin 24 Fe for six months. I am roughly 140 pounds, 5&#039;6&#039;&#039;, with no known history of women problems. I am about to switch to Seaonique because I don&#039;t like my birth control. It was great at first with only a little spotting which a panty liner was barely needed. It has made my cramps insufferable. All I want to do is lay down in a small ball in bed all day. It made my period a very dark color and it doesn&#039;t start until the 3rd brown pill and ends on the 3rd white pill. I have always had a lot of headaches and from taking this medicine they have increased in pain and frequency. Before LoEstrin 24 Fe I was on the Depo shot for 6 months. I switched because I gained 30 pounds in 6 months."
