"i started taking lo loestrin fe about three months ago. this birth control is amazing. compared to my old pill, levora, a lot of those side effects have gone away like my hormonal cystic acne that covered my back and face. in addition, i stopped having my period completely. i have not noticed any breast tenderness or any of the other side effects. i recommend this to those at a younger age. unfortunately, my insurance does not cover this and it is very pricey (around $100 per month)."
