"every birth control is going to effect every woman differently. i really like lolo! i&#039;ve been on it for 6 months now and it is my first type of pill i have taken. (i used to have an iud which i do not recommend) in the first few months of taking it, i was constantly bloated and i gained about 10 pounds. other than that i love it. i used to have a very heavy period that would last 7 days and now with lolo my period is 1-4 days long. my bleeding is barely anything and my cramps are barely there. i love it! highly recommend it!"
