"i posted on this forum when i first started lo loestrin fe. and i still love it! i used to have ovarian cysts that would rupture and caused immense pain so i was placed on birth control by my gyno. my periods are 2-3 days (mostly spotting) and light cramping. i do however get more depressed around this time and i feel the birth control does it. i also get more tired. but other than that i&#039;m still loving it! i pay around 15.00 a month after insurance. i plan on staying on this pill."
