"I&#039;m 16 and  I have been on Loestrin 24 for about a week and half. The day I got them (and started taking them) was a day after I stopped my period and two days ago I started my period it is like a normal. I don&#039;t think I have gained weight due to me being sick and therefore don&#039;t eat as much as I normally do but I did not lose weight like I normally do when I&#039;m sick. I have been getting cramps which I don&#039;t normally get except the first one or two days of my period. I have been really depressed and I&#039;m not a depressed person. I mean I was crying over the stupidest things like my mom not cooking dinner when I wasn&#039;t even hungry. I&#039;m going to talk to my doctor tomorrow."
