loestrin

Avatar m tn I am just SO nervous that I am going to gain weight and my running will be negatively impacted on the lo loestrin fe. Does anyone know if lo loestrin fe causes any weight gain or does anyone have any positive/negative experience with it?
Avatar m tn Interesting. Did you have weight gain issues? I ask because I don't (and when I do gain weight, it's in my legs- I have permanent cankles regardless of my weight).
Avatar f tn I just need suggestions for birth control pills that are good for people who are extremely sensitive to hormones. I've had the Mirena IUD, which didn't cause me to gain weight, but caused my skin to look awful and other issues. I know every person reacts differently to birth controls, but I'm really starting to feel like there is nothing out there for me. I just don't want to gain weight or get acne.
Avatar f tn Any major side effects I should be worried about...I was reading that it causes bigger breast, weight gain, and low sex drive...is that true for anyone else who has taken it?
Avatar f tn I think your just spotting, instead of having a real period you will most likely have a spotting kind of period.or no period.at all thats exactly what the lolo does. Thats most of the cases while using the lolo. Thats why most women loove it. Wait until the last of the month to take a test and if it cmes out negative then you are not pregnant. Just keep taking the pill and if you arent planning on having a baby keep using it .
Avatar f tn im gettin the implanon again just had my baby 5 days ago...
Avatar f tn Both low-dose and continuous cycle birth control can contribute to spotting. If you tell your doctor your experiences and concerns about weight gain, they may able find one that hits the sweet spot.
Avatar f tn However, over the past few years I believe that ortho-tricylen has caused me to gain weight and feel extra anxious. My pill pack is ending this sunday and I was toying with the idea of stopping my birth control all together to see if the symptoms were indeed from ortho-tricylen. My ideal solution would be to find a pill with lower symptoms but this has stumped my gynecologist and primary physician, as a lower dose pill seems to cause spotting for me.
Avatar m tn I am not experiencing any weight gain, breast tenderness, nausea, or change in appetitie. I have heard this is due to the type of birth control that I am on, because it only has 2 days of placebo pills, all the rest are active pills. Please help??
Avatar f tn Depression, mood swings, food craving, weight gain, bloating, and lack of lubrication. My doctor is switching my pills to one with a higher hormone level. She says I am feeling bad because my pills are not strong enough. I start the new ones Sunday and am hoping for the best. Two things that will definitely help are more protein in your diet and exercise. This will keep your blood sugar levels more stable and energy level higher.
Avatar n tn However, it has made me gain weight and be bloated all the time. This is not okay, so I definitely need to switch again because I cannot afford to buy all new clothes in the next size up. What should I ask my dermatologist for next? Yaz and Desogen have also not worked out for me in the past. I'd be grateful for any advice. Thanks!!
8550901 tn?1400740690 pills all nut two made me gain weight, Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and Lo Loestrin Fe, I also tried the Nuva ring and sex was never the same after that, and I was on the shot and that made me crazy, all birth controls are different for everybody
Avatar m tn They stayed pretty big, wavering depending on my weight loss or gain, but overall I stayed around the same weight (I never actually lost/gained enough to change dress sizes). However, now that it's been 5 years since I started on this pill I notice my breasts have actually gone back down to what they were originally. I am so upset! I am actually OK with my current size, but I'll be really upset if they get any smaller. Is this normal?
1674462 tn?1304114750 I did not gain any weight and did not have any bloating with the pill. I loved it. I was put on the pill at 16 due to severe menstrual cramping. I def. recommend that pill.
Avatar f tn So my doc put me on Lo Loestrin Fe ....anyone else ever take this? Or have bad side effects? I a little nervous cuz I've never takin birth control b4. I don't want to not be able to loose the rest of this weight. Plus I feel our family is complete now with 3 girls and our boy but dont feel comfortable doing anything permanent.
541196 tn?1293552936 I have PCOS... not sure how bad really though (I have history of cysts, weight gain, hair growth and insulin resistance). I have a prolactin producing pituitary tumor which I have been treated for since August 2008. I have mild type 2 diabetes caused by the tumor. I have Hashimotos Thyroid which is under control. (also probably related tot he tumor). And they are checking for Cushings (also caused by tumor) because of weight gain.
Avatar f tn Hi, I would like to loose some weight that I've put up since I started taking birth control ( Loestrin 24 Fe), any suggestions of types of diets? What should I avoid? What food promotes weight loss? Please help me, thank youu so much!
Avatar f tn Hello dear Endocysta's! I've had my lap surgery last thursday to remove a chocolate cyst on my left ovary as well as clean up severe endo with an endo specialist surgeon. My next step at post-op appointment will be to get on hormone treatment to suppress endo. As far as I understand, that's the only treatment available. Has anyone tried anything different after treatment, like a holistic approach, and has it worked for you?
Avatar m tn When I was 17, I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe birth control pills. I took them until my sophomore year of college, which I stopped in Feb. 2015 because I was on antibiotics and was not sexually active at the time, anyway. I had no side effects while taking this pill & still received a regular period, from what I can remember. This past July I decided to get back on the pill, as my migraines with my period were getting worse and I was once again sexually active.
Avatar m tn I recently started taking Loestrin 24. I started experiencing light bleeding during sex which lasts for a day or 2 then stops, but then occurs again the next time. It only happens during/after sex. I've never had this happen before. There was nothing abnormal when I had my check up and was given the prescription. Has anyone ever heard of this happening with this brand?
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever switched from Loestrin 24 to Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo? Anybody ever gotten pregnant while on the "lo estrogen" pills? I switched from Loestrin to Ortho because I started not having periods AT ALL on the Loestrin and I had CRAZY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS. I got a blood test but it was negative. Now I am on Ortho and am a little nervous because I've heard and read that some people have gotten pregnant on this pill. Any advice????
Avatar f tn im 20 and havent ovulated in 2 years, gain weight very easy but CANNOT lose it. I also have acne that wont got away and i have small thickeded hair below and around my belly button.
Avatar m tn Hi, i have been on lo loestrin fe for 1 month. Today i am taking second brown pill, which is also the last one...i feel menstrual pain for a few days, but no menstruation. I am worried! Is pregnancy possible if i had intercourse with my bf (while i was on the pill) but he had never ejaculated inside? It is written that lo loestrin fe is protecting you from the first day if u are starting on the first day of your period. Thats how i did. But why is my period not coming?
