birth control
"I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 2 months. I took this medication because I had extremely painful periods. I was practically bed-ridden for 2-3 days every month. While the medication did help my pain go away, I bled... A LOT! My period itself was 4 days longer than usual and I spotted for a week and a half before having another full-size period. It was ridiculous. My doctor kept telling me "Spotting is normal. Spotting will go away. It should stop soon." But I'm telling you it was a lot of blood. I could constantly feel myself bleeding and it often times came out in clots. Not worth it in the end for me."
