"i have tried probably over 15 birth control pills since 2005.  i have a health condition that makes it a bit harder for me to be on higher dose bcp&#039;s.  i was on errin for 6 months and was bleeding nonstop, so my doctor changed me to lo loestrin fe.  i have been on it for exactly 1 month and i wish i would have never touched this medicine.  in 1 month i have gained 7 lbs, i am extremely emotional (i broke down crying watching a cooking show for goodness sake), constant heart burn, bad headaches every other day, can&#039;t sleep, i am thirsty constantly...the list goes on.  to me the side effects are not worth it."
