"i just started my 2nd pack of lo loestrin fe this past sunday. i have to admit when i first starting this pill i was a little skeptic because it is such a low dose pill. i absolutely love this pill so far. i do not have a ton of side effects like with other pills. last summer i briefly was on ortho tri-cyclen and it made me gain 10 pounds in one week! on this pill i do not have any weight gain and no crazy mood swings and my period was super light this month. i did have some spotting throughout the first pack though. i work at a gynecology office so i am well aware that the first 3 months of any new birth control can have potentially weird side effects such as abnormal bleeding, mood swings, etc. thumbs up from me. will update soon.
