Hi there. I'm on Loestrin 24 Fe, but switching to Kariva after I finished this pack. My first month on Loestrin I had no period. But on my second and third month my period came as it should. Unfortunately, during my third month I got side effects like anxiety, depression, breast tenderness and spotting. I stayed on it for two more months hoping my body will get used to it, but unfortunately I needed to switch because the side effects were getting worse instead of better. My doctor told me that usually if you are still getting side effects after the third month, most likely they won't go away. So she switched me to Kariva which I will try after my next period.
Previously I was on Lo Ovral 28, which was pretty good for me (no side effects), but I had to switch to a lower dosage pill due to other health complications. Also Loestrin was supposed to give me a shorter period, but it didn't. It made it lighter, but the length was about the same. |
