So on Sunday I started taking loestrin. Not for contraception but to control some bad symptoms I get on the first day of my period. First I was supposed to get my period yesterday but I started taking the bc early because I couldn't get those symptoms yet again. I'm no just spotting a tiny bit I know thats normal. But I was wondering my wright was up this week by a pound, I'm attributing it due to the fact I was supposed to get TOM. So even though I'm not going to fully get it will that pound come off? Or will it stick around til I get TOM again when I get towards the end of the pack?

Also since I've started it I feel like I've been a little more tired, is this normal? Has anyone else taken loestrin and has it affected your weight loss? I told my doc I did not want one that affected your weight and she said this one doesn't but I read reviews online and a bunch of them said it did.

Thanks for your advice

I'm giving this til next Sunday so two full weeks on it. My weight us up like 3 lbs and I feel tired taking this. If this doesn't change after next Sunday I'm stopping it and talking tO my dr. I'd rather feel like shit one day a month then like crap everyday and have it hinder my weight loss.
