I've been thinking almost going on a pill for birth control and the one I was considering most be Loestrin-24. Is anyone here on it? and if so, do you like it? What be some of the side effects you first experienced and how long did it take for your a lesser amount of periods to become portion of a cycle?

And one semi-related question...can a pediatrician perscribe it to a forgiving or will they have to shift to the ob/gyn?

Can this be life threaning?

I used LoEstrin 1.5/30 for nearly 10 years and like it very much. I lately switched to YAZ (with a 24 day dosing programme similar to LoEstrin 24) and like it even better, because my period have gone from 10 days (yes ON the pill!), to 2 days of spotting. Side effects of LoEstrin be minimal for me, but that was after I tried nearly 2 dozen different formulations!

If your pediatrician decide that you need to be on the pill for menstrual nouns, then yes he/she can write the prescription; it desires only be written by an MD..it doesn't event what that doctor's specialty is.
