"i had headaches for a few months but my body got pretty used to it.  periods were like clock work - 2 days sometimes only lasted even 1 but last year i started getting random spotting.  i told my doc i wanted to try something new as there are so many options and the random spotting wasn&#039;t making my husband happy.  so she prescribed me lo loestrin.  worst mistake ever.  first month on lo loestrin i didn&#039;t get my period (thought i was pregnant) second month got it twice, third month got it 3x. was dizzy, sick to my stomach, constantly tired, started breaking out all over!  long story short - stayed on lo loestrin for 5 months. now i&#039;m back on gianvi and happier than ever!"
