Birth Control
"I was on Loestrin 24 (1/20) for two years because I became sexually active and it would also help with my cramping. In the beginning, I had absolutely no problems with this pill. It took care of my periods/cramps like it was supposed to, but it didn&#039;t really take care of my acne. I gained a little weight. My moods improved a bit, but I still had pretty bad PMS. Also, since my periods weren&#039;t too bad to begin with, I kind of miss having them as a reminder that I&#039;m not pregnant. The reason I&#039;m getting off Loestrin now is because it&#039;s really thinned out my hair. I have very fine/thin hair to begin with and, though it doesn&#039;t come out in clumps, it&#039;s noticeable not as full as it used to be. It does its job, but it&#039;s not the pill for me anymore."
