"i&#039;m really hesitant to go off of lo loestrin after 5 years because, for the most part, i&#039;ve loved it. i used to get crampy periods and since i&#039;ve been on it i get no cramping whatsoever, barely-there periods (i spot just a tiny bit and then that&#039;s it), and no weight gain or moodiness. however, i&#039;ve had such issues with dryness (i can get wet but can&#039;t stay wet during sex) that i think the time has come for me to try a different pill."
