"i am 18 and i started taking lo loestrin fe about 3 weeks ago. i have horrible acne (on my face, back, chest, and shoulders) since i have been taking this birth control my acne is little to none, thank god! i did get my period while on the pill and it was already lighter and shorter compared to my usual 6-7 day hell. i did have spotting the first 2 weeks then it stopped. the only thing that is a bummer is breast tenderness (especially in the morning) my breast are swollen, but i don&#039;t think they will get bigger than my already 34d. my gyno gave me 2 packs and my insurance is not going to cover."
