"i hate this birth control.  i start spotting a week into my period every month (on it 3 months now) and have to wear a liner at all times.  horrible mood swings, no sex drive (the dark brown spotting all month doesn&#039;t help), and is barely covered by birth control.  still would have had to pay $70 out of pocket each month if i wanted to continue on it, which i don&#039;t.  will be switching back to ocella as soon as i can, which didn&#039;t have any of these side effects.  i got a 6-month sample of lo loestrin fe and will be throwing out the remaining 3 months."
