"the first week or two on lo loestrin fe went really well for me. i had very minimal side effects. however, as my first menstrual cycle on the pill came around, everything seemed to change. it wasn&#039;t an awful period, it was actually light with minimal cramping. but during this time i realized my digestion was completely off and i developed acid reflux (which i&#039;d never dealt with before). constant headaches and brain fog became the norm for me, as well as nauseousness and abdominal pain. i also became way more fatigued, and even developed dry mouth. before starting this medication i felt completely fine, but four months later i feel worse than ever. am stopping this medication as soon as this month ends."
