Birth Control
"I started taking Loestrin 24 Fe because I didn&#039;t want anymore kids. To my surprise my periods became nonexistent and it also cleared my acne. Before starting the pill my period was normal (3-5 days of flow and bleeding was normal to light by the last day) and I had mild breakouts but keep in mind, I have always suffered from these breakouts. Well after being on the pill for about 2 months my skin was clear and I didn&#039;t have a period. I stayed on the pill for about 3 years. I did have severe mood swings and my breast size did increase just a little. I never gained weight, in fact, I actually gained 5lbs after stopping the pill. I was taken of the pill because I&#039;ve been having swelling reactions which my doctor thinks is being caused by the pill."
