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.

Can sometimes be difficult to take them at the right time, making them less effective. Slightly inconvenient to have to keep collecting new packs every 3 months.

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
