"some background: i am 25, have never been on birth control and have regular periods. i&#039;m on my 5th pack of lo loestrin fe and so far am pretty pleased with it other than a few annoying things. i did experience some spotting in the very beginning, and when i started my 4th pack i got my period 2 weeks early which was surprising since i&#039;m so used to having a regular period. i also seem to get a mild yeast infection around the time of my period which, as you can imagine, is awful. i don&#039;t really want to stop taking this pill because my skin has cleared up and i haven&#039;t gained any weight. just dealing with the yeast with probiotics/yogurt and hopefully it&#039;ll all balance out. if not i&#039;m just going to stop taking it."
