"this was my first experience with birth control but i have to say i absolutely love it. i used to get horrible heavy periods in which i would go through at least seven super tampons a day with extreme cramping. now my periods are light and unnoticeable. for the first couple of months i had bleeding in the middle of my cycle (very light, not even worth a pantyliner) but this went away as my body adjusted. i honestly feel like lo has helped my mood swings (probably because i&#039;m not in horrible pain for a week of every month) and i&#039;m much happier with it. my sex drive was unaffected as well. overall i absolutely love this birth control!!!"
