Eventually, the fatigue from Loestrin went away, but Im now on antibiotics to clear up some of the acne that stemmed from taking it. Since I still had breakthrough issues, my doctor recommended a D and C and hysteroscopy. The bleeding was from having heavy uterine lining, and on finishing my last pack of loestrin I didnt really have side effects or spotting.

However, I did switch to Yasmin now (not Yaz) and I have absolutely no bad side effects and no spotting issues. My doctor said (and I have read) that Loestrin is one of the more androgen-increasing bcps out there, and most pills besides Yasmin do increase androgens.
