I'm 23 and just recently switched off of the Ortho Evra patch because it was increasing my uterine lining and causing break through bleeding both randomly and durring sexual activity. They put me on Junel fe 1/20 (the generic version of Loestrin fe 1/20) and looking online I have found some good things and alot of bad. I just want to get feedback from anyone who has taken Microgestin, Junel fe, or Loestrin fe. Some of the negatives I have seen online are hair loss, weight gain, and loss of libedo. I am scared that this will give me nothing but problems. Please answer if you have any expieriance with these pills.

Also wanted to mention I was on other b/c pills before. I was on Estrostep and it gave me 2 pds a month, then Ortho Tricyclin for a long time and I rected normal to it, then like I said Ortho evra...which just increased my PMS mood swings.... If I am reacting normal to them will I react the same to others?

I was on Loestrin fe for 4 years up until recently and it was fine.
Because it is a low dose pill the side effects are lower than many other pills.
I didn't see any problems with hair loss, or loss of libedo, and who knows about weight gain. But any pill will have the weight gain and libedo side effects... because of the estrigin included in the pills... so if you responded well to others - Loestrin (which actually has less estrogin than other pills) will probabbly be fine for you too.
