"i have been on lo lostrin fe (it is my first birth control pill i&#039;ve ever taken) for about 1 and a half months. this is overall an effective product; although, i&#039;ve been having a few side effects including very light cramping and continuous spotting, which i hope will wear off. i have easily gained 4 lbs (which i wanted to do intentionally) and my mood has been a lot better than before! no pms or anything. i haven&#039;t once been nauseous while taking this; i always eat right after i take the pill at the same time every morning. i would recommend this to anyone who wants an effective low-dosage contraceptive."
