"i recently switched from junel fe 1/20 to this birth control (free sample from gyno) and i&#039;m switching back to junel fe 1/20 asap. lo loestrin fe has caused me to gain about 10-15 lbs and i&#039;ve only been on it a month. i constantly feel bloated, hungry, and my breasts felt huge. i have also started losing my hair because of this birth control. it caused me to have horrible mood swings...it was like i was pmsing the entire month i was on it. please stay clear of this birth control."
