"i&#039;ve been using lo loestrin fe for almost 10 months now i began using them after i gave birth. they are truly effective i don&#039;t suffer from spotting or periods and i don&#039;t have to worry about getting pregnant. my doctor did mention with drinking this your stopping your period if you have periods, you are probably taking it wrong. it&#039;s normal to spot a little on the last week of the pack."
