"when i first starting taking lo loestrin fe, it was the first birth control pill i had taken, so i was expecting to become a little moody (which had subsided after about two weeks), but besides that i was completely fine. the first month on the pill i had a little breakthrough bleeding (very little brown discharge-- only for a couple of days), and this too had subsided after the first month. ever since then i have had no period, no weight gain, no cramps, no breakthrough bleeding, no spotting, no nothing!"
