"i&#039;ve been on this birth control for about 5 months and i have no major complaints. i was on lo loestrin fe for 6 months prior but unfortunately had to switch because it was too expensive. the only thing i&#039;ve noticed is that i get very emotional over tiny things unlike when i was on lo loestrin. my period is extremely regular. (always comes on the first day of the placebo pill week, very light and only for about 3-4 days.) also cleared up my skin big time and no weight gain at all. (i&#039;ve actually lost 7 pounds since being on bc and have had very little change in my eating patterns and physical activity.) would&#039;ve given it a 10 if it weren&#039;t for the mood swings."
