birth control
"This is an excellent pill. I started on this pill about 8 months ago to prevent getting pregnant. Before this I was on Yasmin, which was absolutely horrible as it made me extremely nauseous, tired, and gave me worse cramps with my period than I had before with a normal period. When I switched to Loestrin 24 Fe, I have had no side effects whatsoever. My periods are very light and short. The only reason I won't give it a 10 rating is because it sometimes makes me miss my period, which is kind of stressful. But it is effective and it has worked for me. I also did not gain any weight, instead I lost some. I went down from 103 pounds to 100."
