>>��>>��To Whomever could give my some advice.

>>��>>��My husband and I talked and decided to start having a family. I have been on LoEstrin 1.5 for 15 years and have had no side effects while on the pill. I have been extremely happy with this particular brand. Well about 1 1/2Months ago I stopped the pill with my doctor aware of our decision.

>>��>>��Since that time, I have been very depressed,crying at everything and feeling so tired. I have totally lost all interest in sexual relations with my husband. He too has seen a drastic change in my personality. He knows that there will be hormonal changes in my body and gives me lots of support. I just want to know if these thoughts and extreme mood changes normal. I know they are normal while on the pills yet I have never felt so down and lifeless. My doctor knows that I am moody but I just don't think he understands how severe.

>>��>>��Please someone offer some suggestions.

>>��>>��Most appreciated

>>��I too just recently got off LoEstrin as my husband and I are going to start a family here soon. I was on BCP for about 13 years. The last 3 years I have been on LoEstrin. I stopped taking LoEstrin on November 23 of this year and have had daily cramping and light bleeding at times. I am not sure what I should expect either. I put a phone call in for my Doctor to see what he has to say. I feel for you and hope that I don't experience what you are experiencing as it is bad enough. Once I receive a phone call I will repost if I can figure out how I got to this site in the first place! Best Wishes.

I understand how you feel. I've been on Lestrin for 5 years and I also have ad some of the same symptoms. My husband and I are thinking about starting a family and I have been on edge and very moody since I stopped taking the pill. I'm going to my doctor soon and I will let you know his thoughts also!!
