"so far so good! i switched from lo loestrin fe. i was liking the lo-fe the first 3 months, 3 day periods was amazing. then months 4-6 i had spotting, break through bleeding, and cramps, sometimes crazy discharge sometimes i was super dry, terrible mood swings, etc.) anyways, i switched to this because it contained more estrogen and ever since january i&#039;ve felt loads better. i don&#039;t see any difference in weight, appetite, or sleep. i have seen an improvement in my mood and concentration/focus since switching to this pill, i feel balanced. my period does last 5 days but my cramps aren&#039;t as bad nor is my period nearly as heavy as when i wasn&#039;t on birth control. 9/10 because i still use condoms and haven&#039;t really tested it 100%"
