"wow, i absolutely love this pill! i&#039;m so sorry that so many other women had a problem with it. after reading the reviews, i felt compelled to write one of my own, because i was hesitant to take it after reading all of the horror stories. i&#039;ve been on bc for years, several different pills. no complaints. however i switched to this one after talking to my obgyn about my loooonnnnnnggggg periods. well, i&#039;ve been on lo loestrin for 3  months now, and absolutely love it. hardly any cramps, and my period has gone down to 2-3 days of mostly light spotting. love this pill!"
