"loestrin fe did a lot better than the &#039;lo loestrin fe&#039;. i only got this prescription because my insurance covers it and it&#039;s similar to what i was taking before-just less hormones. (they apparently discontinued the birth control i used to take).  since i&#039;ve been on this one, i&#039;ve been a little moodier, more acne, breast tenderness and cramping without periods.  i&#039;ve lost weight and my cup/bra size actually got smaller.  honestly, it&#039;s starting to freak me out a bit because i haven&#039;t been this tender with a birth control, only while pregnant with my two children.  i take it as it&#039;s prescribed-same time, every day, never skipping a dose.  hitting my 3rd month on it, no periods or spotting at all."
