"my dr put me on generess fe after i had tried loestrin 24 and lo-ovral. i was impressed that a lower dose pill worked for me. the first 5 or 6 months i experienced some spotting mid month, but it wasn&#039;t unbearable and eventually subsided. my periods became very regular and light. they still last a full week, but are light enough that it doesn&#039;t hinder me. i experience very little cramping and mood change. i feel hungry alot and my libido could be better. however, after having a miserable experience with nuvaring, i am calling my doctor and going back on generess fe. by far, this has been my favorite birth control pill."
