"i have been on lo loestrin fe for about 7 months now. i take it on the dot at the exact same time every day and have never missed a pill. i started out getting two periods a month. i&#039;d get (what felt like a period) a week after my placebo pills and then i would bleed lightly a week before my placebos. as the months have gone by though my &quot;periods&quot; have been getting lighter and lighter and this month (month 7) is the first month i haven&#039;t had my light discharge and cramps after the placebo pills. i&#039;m hoping this is a good sign. even though this pill is unpredictable, i don&#039;t have headaches, breast tenderness, or acne like my last pill."
