"i have been taking lo loestrin fe for over a year now, it&#039;s the best birth control i&#039;ve ever taken, i use to have heavy cycles, the worst cramps, and would have to take off work because of being nausea and sick once a month. i would wear ultra tampon with the biggest pads u could find! my iron was low because of how much blood i would lose a month. since my doctor prescribed this pill i have maintain my weight, i no longer take iron tablets and my periods are very light. it still comes on but sometimes it skips a month and the next month it may stay on two weeks. long as you maintain a healthy diet it works out fine! give this a try and see if it works for you!!"
