birth control
"I began taking Lo Loestrin Fe in December 2011. I am 5'3" and 110 lbs so my OB/GYN prescribed it because of its low amount of hormones. It took about three months for it to regulate my periods and for the headaches and nausea to go away, and then my periods came two days a month and were extremely light with no cramps. All of a sudden, my periods started arriving earlier and earlier to the point where I started two weeks early and had a week-long period. I haven't had any pregnancy scares, weight gain, or crazy side affects from Lo Loestrin Fe but the fact that the low hormone dosage can't control my menstrual cycle is making me switch birth control."
