"i was worried about starting birth control. i wanted something with little to no side effects and something that wouldn&#039;t be a big risk to the bits of cervical cancer i have. so i talked to my doctor and he put me on lo loestrin fe and i love it. it&#039;s amazing. i have very little side effects, like when on the blue pills in the pack, i have a little bit of acne but when my period comes at the end of the pack the acne goes away. i also have a little bit of bloating in the belly but no big weight gain and sometimes i get a bad headache an hour after taking it. i also have trouble sleeping and sometimes my arm goes numb but i don&#039;t have bad side effects. these are nothing, i love this pill. i have no random spotting or bleeding and it does not make me sick."
