"i have tried multiple birth control pills over the years and have never been able to find one that i could tolerate, either physically or emotionally.  i am on my first pack of lo loestrin fe and surprisingly i haven&#039;t had any debilitating side effects.  i am just entering my 3rd week of pills and i am bloated and have started spotting.  i&#039;m not sure if this is breakthrough bleeding or if i&#039;m going to have a full blown period.  regardless, i am going to wait it out as i&#039;m thrilled not to have any nausea or intense mood swings.  so far, so good!"
