"i have been on lo loestrin for an entire year and i love it! i am a nineteen year old sexually active woman. when i first began to take lo loestrin i did get dizzy, felt mood swings, weird cravings, weight gain. you will gain weight, i am unusually small so the weight gain wasn&#039;t devastating ( i went from 98 pounds to 115). after a month or two my body adjusted to the pills and everything balanced out and it&#039;s been very effective. i&#039;ve has about three periods in the last year which has its positives and negatives. i personally love lo loestrin."
