Really liked this pill and really disappointed it was discontinued. It was a brilliant pill - good contraceptive cover and minimal side effects

Since Loestrin 20 has been discontinued I'm yet to find a pill that works for me :(. I've tried rigevidon, microgynon, some others I can't remember, and the implant!! Nothing seems to work the same, I've particularly had problems with my sex drive since going off it and vaginal dryness. Does anyone know a pill like Loestrin 20 in the uk!????

This was the only pill that I’ve taken that has ever worked for me with no side effects. Since it’s been discontinued - I have tried mercilon, femodette and Yasmin, all of which led to excessive bleeding and mood swings. If you are in the USA or can get a prescription from there- there is a generic of this pill called Junel Fe 1/20 that is the exact same as Loestrin 20 - for those missing this pill as much as I am!

I had finally find a pill that works for me - in terms of mood, skin and lighter periods. I was gutted to find out it has been discontinued! I am yet to find another one like it.

Started off ok - periods regulated as desired, and lighter than before (bonus!) However, lost sex drive and gradually started noticing low mood - this is particularly low now after ~8 months and I’m looking for an alternative.

My overall experience with Loestrin 20 was positive. It regulated my periods and made them lighter which was the goal. I only stopped using as there is currently a huge shortage across the nation otherwise I would still take Loestrin 20.

When I followed the usual pattern of 3 weeks on, 1 week off I found bleeds were really unpredictable. However, when I took it back-to-back for 6 months it stopped my periods completely and had no noticeable affect on my mood. Unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued...

I had a great experience with this one after going on low estrogen pills that made me lose sex drive.
