"been on lo loestrin fe for 6 months now. the first month i had spotting for 3 weeks and was quite emotional (can&#039;t specifically relate that to the birth control though - could have been caused by other factors). the second and third month i didn&#039;t get my period at all. after that my breasts grew and i got regular periods that usually last 1-3 days and are very light. love this birth control and i&#039;ve had no problems!"
