"at my last visit my doctor recommended trying lo loestrin and explained it as the &quot;evolutionary&quot; step-up from loestrin 24. i was nervous, but my results have been amazing. i had maybe 2 days of spotting the first month but now i have a 1 day light period, hardly any cramps, and no mood swings. i&#039;ve been on it for 4 months now and i am so happy i gave lo loestrin a chance."
