birth control
"I've been taking Lo Loestrin FE for about 2.5 years now.  The first few months were pretty rough, ie. mood swings, weight gain, low sex drive.  I was even nauseous and sometimes had two periods in one month.  YES, I agree it can be tough to give this one a chance, but I'm glad I did.  At this point I have not had a period in months, and all side effects have mellowed.  I do get normal PMS symptoms, light cramping and body aches, just no bleeding.  No more weight gain or mood swings.  I'm glad I stuck it out because it has been the best birth control I've used."
