"having tried 8 different pills, plus implanon (implant), i can finally say i found a pill that works for me. it&#039;s changed my life. sounds dramatic but it&#039;s true - before, no matter which pill, i was experiencing excruciating cramps, back aches, mood swings and very heavy bleeding for at least 6 days. lo lo estrin fe has changed all that. i don&#039;t have a period at all which doesn&#039;t worry me. i&#039;m happy not to go through that pain every month. now i have a few small signals that i would normally be having my period (slight back ache, slightly more emotional) 
overall i&#039;m really happy with it. i think it&#039;s down to the dosage level - the very low amount of estrogen works really well for me. 2 years and counting!"
