Loestrin Bc Pills
Posted: 03-26-07 12:48pm

Just wondering if any one here takes this particular one, my dr gave me it because it is low progesterone so it shouldnt cause headaches. I start it after my period. Ive read up on it alot of people say its given to older women in there 30's or older and it makes you lose your sex drive etc. Just wondering if any of yall have taken it and had any bad effects or gotten pregnant on it?

I'm only 26, but I took it for about 2 years without any problems. After a couple of years, I started having a lot of breakthrough bleeding and had to switch to a different one. But it made my periods a lot lighter and I had hardly any cramping.

I never experienced any headaches while I took it. Just the breakthrough bleeding after being on it for a couple of years. But, you may have better luck. It seems like every couple of years, I would have breakthrough bleeding and have to have my pills changed. I was glad when my husband and I decided to start ttc...no more pills!!!!!! Laughing
