birth control
"I am finishing my second month of Loestrin and like it overall.  I was on Lo Loestrin for 2 months and it was not working out (breakthrough bleeding, cramping, bloating), so my doctor switched me to this pill.  I still have had breakthrough bleeding (more like just spotting) for the last two weeks of every month, but the "period" at the end is practically nonexistent with no cramps, which is great.  I have noticed a bit of water retention, but nothing green tea and extra water can't solve. I've also had some occasional nausea, but nothing too bad, and it passes quickly.  And I've gained 1/2 a cup size.  Overall I'll stick with this pill and hope the spotting goes away in the next few months because that's my only real complaint. "
