"i was on lo loestrin fe for about two years.  the first year and a half were great!  i had absolutely no side effects, never had my period, and most importantly never got pregnant.  unfortunately, near the end i begin experiencing severe vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, mood swings, and acne.  i have no clue what happened, but am sadly discontinuing use.  i am temporarily switching to the patch which will hopefully work better with my body.  i soon plan on getting either the mirena or nexplanon for long-term prevention and less hassle (i hope).



the price was also terrible.  for the longest time i paid $75 a month which eventually decreased to $50 and then to $25.  be sure to ask your dr for the discount card and sample packs."
