"lo loestrin fe works really well for me. i went on this birth control because i had a very irregular period and terrible cramps. sometimes i would skip months and sometimes i&#039;d get it twice in one month. i&#039;d have to use a heating pad and even that didn&#039;t help very much. it was a mess. i&#039;ve been on lo loestrin fe for almost two years now. no period to speak of and no cramps. i had a very light period for the first few months i started until it eventually disappeared completely. i have no bad symptoms. no acne or mood swings. my only complaint is that my sex drive is dead when i used to have quite the active libido, which is the only reason i&#039;m thinking of switching birth controls."
