"i love this pill. i didn&#039;t give it a 10 because nothing is perfect but i was on loestrin fe 24 and i would get my period for like a day and i kept track with my period planner. i would get cramps and my breast would get very tender and my mood would change as well as my appetite. this medicine is expensive without insurance. then my doctor recommended i switch to lo loestrin fe. i was a bit skeptical because i didn&#039;t want to end up having more periods. turns out that when i switched i only had a period for 5 days straight in june 2013 and now we are in october and i haven&#039;t had any cramps or a period for that matter. i do have a lot of discharge which is a side effect, no mood swings or anything like that."
