"i have currently been on the pill for over a year. after my daughter i tried the depo shot it made my periods stop, and worked for a few months. but i became emotional and gained weight. for the last year or more i have been using the lo loestrin pill which is amazing. the positive thing about the pill is i have lost weight, my face has barely any to no breakouts, and best of all no period. the negative thing about the pill is i do feel more tired then usual (i am also going to school for nursing, work 36 hours, take care of the lawn/house, and have a 2 year old) it could be my activity. only $10 is covered by my insurance, which leaves me paying $82. my sex drive is balanced, i have not seen much change. highly recommend this birth control."
