"i&#039;ve been on this particular birth control for a little over a year now, i&#039;ve been on loestrin 24 fe and lo loestrin 24 fe. it&#039;s helped more than loestrin itself did. i haven&#039;t had bad acne, no weight gain whatsoever (it&#039;s extremely hard for me so weight gain is welcomed for me), no crazy mood swings, no nausea. cramps haven&#039;t been the greatest, but they are better than they used to be on the other birth controls!"
