"i have been on 6 different birth controls from the shot, to different pills and have always had bad side effects. i have been on lo loestrin fe for a month now and i love it! my hormones are balanced out, no mood swings, no depression, no weight gain, nothing. i think i&#039;m actually losing weight, and i feel great. the only down fall is i have been spotting a little bit, and my breasts are tender/ my mood is a little off the week before my period. other than that no complaints! if you have has trouble with birth control like me, i advise you to try this. i have gotten severe depression, weight gain and everything else from other birth controls. if you get a green card from plan parenthood this pill is free!"
