Is it possible...

that all the stomach issues I encountered this fall and winter was a result of the pill. You know how I stopped taking it because I felt it had caused my weight gain. Well since I stopped taking it I haven't had any stomach pain. And I even drank red wine last night.

It seems odd that a BC would cause that. But it also seems odd that since I stopped taking it I feel better. I also feel less gross and happier.

All my stomach problems started in October and I switched to this pill in September. So timing wise its possible.



So if Loestrin 24 fe was causing my stomach issues, my depression and my weight gain... basically I paid $50 a month to feel miserable.

wow! well here's to hoping that that takes care of it!! that would be so great if everything went back to normal for you!

OMG it's totally possible. If that's the case stop the pill asap!! I know this isn't the same but I remember a few yrs back I started taking some kind of vitamin and months later I couldnt figure out why I was having such terrible stomach pains/issues that werent getting resolved. I was about to schedule an appt with a gastroenterologist to see what was going on and then something clicked that it started around the time I started the vitamin, as soon as I stopped it my stomach was back to normal.

Hope you feel better

I already stopped taking it because I thought it was making me fat and I feel 100% better which is why I think its been the pill all along (for 8 months). I spent all fall going through tests. CATS, colonoscopys, going from doctor to doctor.

I think you have figured out what was causing you to feel so crappy. I'm actually happy for you that it was the pill and not some other issues. I hate BC pills, they affect people in so many ways and what ***** is that this pill that did this to do was the same one I took and I had no side effects whatsoever, everyones body is different. I'm just glad u stopped taking it and that you already feel much better!!
