"i was on lo loestrin fe for almost 2 years and they were the worst years of my life. first of all, my periods completely stopped as far as bleeding went (no bleeding). but i experienced all the other effects of a period such as bloating, cramps, pms. the couple times i actually had my period while on this pill, i had yeast infection-like symptoms (to which my gynecologist said was normal) and horrendous cramping. also, before lo loestrin i never experienced pms, and after it, i did. i will start taytulla so i hope this one works better!"
