I was put on Loestrin as an early teen post chemo/radiotherapy when my body didn't develop naturally. I was never really told at that age what side effects there were. I already suffered with migraines and regular headaches which always occured in the week before the break. I stayed in this till my late 20s when I first began to notice the thinness of my hair. It was only then that I was told it has a lot of testosterone in it that does lead to hair loss. Sadly my hair is now very thin but I was able to switch off this brand and stabilize the loss.

Absolutely devastated that they've discontinued Loestrin 30. Mission to find a new pill that works for me as well as this one did. Worked well for my moods although in hindsight, at times felt a little lost and like my mood was dull for periods of time. Weight gain was an issue but skin was great, my skin was fairly clear before starting it and there were barely any problems while on it. BRING IT BACKKKK!!!! it was perfect for me.
Somewhat positive mood

Moving to Loestrin 30 from Rigevidon was a huge change, I felt much better on loestrin 30. But after a few months, my moods began to drop again and I felt as though I was a muted version of myself. Issues with my skin, complete loss of sex drive and lack of motivation for life. This experience convinced me to stop using hormonal contraceptives altogether.
Very negative mood
