"My doctor prescribed Lo Loestrin Fe to help alleviate the perimenopause symptomps I was experiencing (long, heavy, frequent periods, and bad cramping). After taking it for 3 months, the Lo Lestrin Fe did shorten the length of my period by a couple days, but it did not lighten it at all, I had heavy bleeding mid-cyle (much heavier than spotting), and I still had bad cramping. Additionally, I started having very bad acne (I have not had a pimple in about 30 years so it was alarming that I suddenly had 5-8 large painful cystic pimples on my face at all times during the 3 months I took these pills). I also quickly gained a lot of fat around my waist & abdominal area, gained 4 pounds in 3 months and my weight had been steady for about 5 years."
