"i&#039;ve been on lo loestrin fe for a year now. a couple weeks into the first month i felt  really sick, i was  extremely bloated, and threw up a few times. but after that it has been great. it has reduce my periods from 7-8 heavy days to 1-3 light days. 
it costs $23 dollars for me every month with insurance, and the coupon my obgyn gave me. the only semi-bad part to this is that you don&#039;t get your period every month. i&#039;ve gone 3 months straight without having a period which can be scary at times. also, i used to be 96 lbs. and since then i gained 8 lbs. i&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s because of the pill or because of my eating habits. my sex drive hasn&#039;t changed either."
