"i&#039;ve taken lo loestrin fe for about 2 and half years now. i am very prompt about taking it everyday at the same time. i never forget to take it. i rarely had acne before i went on but i do still normally as before the pill get an occasional zit, nothing too bad. my period is off every other month though. sometimes it 3-4 days and other times just 2 days. my period prior to the pill was heavy and a full 7 days so that&#039;s why i first got put on the pill."
