Thanks. For me, I took Loestrin for 9 days and then broke out in hives.
I immediately stopped w/the pill, but 6 weeks later I still have hives.
I've had every allergy test every and none show any allergies and I've
never had hives or allergies before. I feel like it was the Loestrin -
it just seems too coincidental that I got the hives after I started it,
but I don't know how to reconcile the fact that they haven't stopped now
that I've quit the pill.
