"i have taken this birth control for over 6 months now and am very pleased with it. i previously had implanon and had a lot of side effects with it, including bad mood swings and weight gain. after switching to lo loestrin fe i started experiencing a slight loss of appetite and some nausea, which made me lose 25lbs that i had put on as a result of the implanon. i could do without the nausea, but i&#039;m pleased with the weight loss, especially because i was expecting to gain weight if anything. i have had no bleeding besides when i slip up and forget to take my pill, besides some very light spotting at the end of my pill cycle which i almost don&#039;t even notice it most of the time."
