"lo loestrin fe is by far the best birth control i have ever tried! i cannot tell you how many different contraceptives i have tried and they have all made me miserable. i&#039;ve had absolutely no side effects on lo loestrin fe. my skin is clear, my periods last maybe a day and it&#039;s super light. absolutely no cramps or nausea. my weight fluctuates on its own so i wouldn&#039;t blame the pill for that lol."
