Question
I started taking Loestrin 24Fe a month ago and have not been on birth contril in about 8 years- what are the chances I could have feelings of depression?
If you read the package insert that comes with the pill from the pharmacy, you will see that depression is a side effect. So the chances are good that if these feelings are coincidental to starting to take the pill, that there is a cause and effect relationship here.

Expertise
Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.
Experience
I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
