Loestrin 24 Fe (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: I'm into my second pack and am not pregnant (which is good) but I'm very nauseous, queasy, dizzy and lightheaded. Also, I'm experiencing anxiety and nervousness. I think if these symptoms continue after pack 3 I'll need to switch.

Loestrin 24 Fe (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: I've been using Loestrin 24 FE for almost a year and couldn't be happier with it. I'm 18 and it's the first pill I've tried, so I guess I got lucky with it.
I experienced no side-effects, even during the first pack. The main objective is always not to get pregnant, and obviously it's doing the job it should in that respect. However, it also completely eliminated my periods. I'll get a small amount of bleeding every few months (maybe half a day's worth of spotting), but that's all.
The only downside is that it's expensive but worth it.

Loestrin 24 Fe (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: I've been on Loestrin 24 FE for 5 months. I had a few bothersome side effects and a few side effects that weren't so bothersome. In the second month I developed this weird anxiety and had this constant sense of nervousness. I would also have very brief moments of dizziness. For example, if I turned my head too fast I'd feel a flash of dizziness. For nearly 4 months my breasts were sore, but I could deal with that. I spotted for the first month, but I could deal with that, too. I never had any nausea, weight gain, acne, hair loss, or skin discoloration. Now that I've gotten over the side effects I'm pretty pleased and wouldn't want to switch.

Loestrin 24 Fe (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: I have been taking Loestrin 24Fe for 13 months now and I have no complaints. It is the first birth control that I have tried. After 3 months of taking the pill, it completely ended my period. I was a little nervous about it, but my doctor assured me that not having a period was normal (especially if you were light before) and that it would not effect my ability to have children later. Also, the pill took away all of my acne which is always a plus!

Loestrin 24 Fe (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: I am 18 years old and have been using Loestrin 24 Fe for 9 and a half months now. I haven't gotten pregnant but the side effects I experience always make me think that I am pregnant. It's been this long so I guess it's working.

Microgestin 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: I absolutely adore microgestin, now that I've been on it for three and a half months. The first two months were brutal. In the second week I had horrible uterine cramping and terrible cramping during my period also. The first month also, until I got used to it, it did give me mood swings, but did not make me depressed. Once I was on it for a few months, however, all of this went away. Right now I have mild breast tenderness but honestly it isn't bad at all and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Ovcon 35 (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I was given Ovcon 4 years ago because of abnormal irregular bleeding. I decided to try this before a hysterectomy. I had no other problems and was near menopause age. I did not want to have surgery when everything was healthy. It worked great for me with little or no side effects. I am now 52 and got through this because of Ovcon without the surgery.

Microgestin 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: The only side effect that happened to me was spotting in the first 2 weeks. After that everything was okay, better that IUD.

Loestrin 24 Fe (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) : I'VE BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT SINCE NOV 07, I LOVE IT. HAVING MY CYCLE EVERY MONTH, WITH JUST ENOUGH CRAMPING TO LET ME KNOW. I STILL HAVE A PERIOD. WORKS WELL ENOUGH FOR ME AND WITH REGULAR CHECK-UPS WITH MY GYN, I'M GLAD WE'VE MADE THE DECISION WITH LOESTRIN 24 FE.

Loestrin 24 Fe (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: I'm 28 yrs. old. I've been pregnant and delivered without complication. I have used birth control in the past but not for over 7 years. I just finished my 1st pack of Loestrin 24 FE, I try to take it after 7pm. I spotted twice and had a very light period for 3 days. I'm into pack 2, not pregnant (MY GOAL) and I feel fine.

Microgestin 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Stopped my periods all together. It is nice, but my doctor didn't mention it when she prescribed it. Was a little stressful the first month when you skip your period and no one has an explanation. Turns out it is a side effect.
