Loestrin 24 Fe and exhaustion

I am 22 years old and have finished my first pack of Loestrin 24 Fe. I have not been on birth control for 2 years before I started this pack. I experienced some mild side effects such as acne, loss of appetite, and spotting. In my last week of pills my spotting stopped, my skin cleared up, and I am capable of carrying out my daily routines without exhaustion. I was really freaked out at first about the side effects but I am completely happy with the pill now. My period came exactly on the second brown pill day and it is light and I have very little cramping. I am also happy to say I have increased from an A to a B cup within the first month.

I suggest that everyone re-evaluate their lifestyles (smoking, drinking, exercise, medications, etc.) Also, I might agree that younger women that haven't been taking pills previously may be less prone to experiencing side effects.

i am on the first week of my second pack, after switching from orthotricyclinLo (which i loved, but my gyn suggested i switch so that she could give me samples while i was abroad). a few days before my first "period" (if you can really call it that...it was ridiculously light as far as periods go)at the end of my first pack i started getting bad stomach cramps. i attributed it to my body getting adjusted to foreign food, but the cramps, while less painful, are still rather persistent and range from my stomach to lower-left side. i have also been experiencing weird hunger, in which i have the desire to eat but everything seems unappetizing or makes me nauseous.

i started freaking out, thinking i had some strange std symptom, but i have no other symptoms and have been in a monogamous relationship for the past 9 months. and while i have yet to take a pregnancy test, i have been on birth control for the past 4 years (so my uterus is something of a barren wasteland) and i use condoms with my boyfriend. i was freaking out a bit with these side cramps, wondering whether or not i should make a doctor's appointment. when taking orthotricyclinLo i had little to no side effects, and i have never gotten menstrual cramps before, so i hadn't thought that this discomfort could be from my pills. i was thinking of making a doctor's appointment, but after reading this blog am reconsidering, and might just wait out another month or so.

has anyone else had a similar cramping/discomfort experience, and did it ever subside?

thanks!
