"i&#039;ve been on 9 different birth control pills (includes lo loestrin). i am 35 years old, around 124 pounds and 5&#039;3&quot;. my obgyn prescribed this pill 6-7 months ago with the hopes of alleviating my heavy bleeding and fatigue. now, all women&#039;s bodies react differently to these pills. this review is based on how my body reacted to lo loestrin. pros: no periods (just light bleeding at times), energy, pregnancy prevention. cons: anxiety, aggrevation, weight gain (i felt like i was eating for two), strange chest pain on the left, small break outs. my obgyn accidently prescribed me back on my old bc accidently meaning to prescibe me on lolo. i was glad she made that mistake because i did not like the way this pill made me feel."
