birth control
"I have been on Lo Loestrin for about 2 years. When I first started, I had pregnancy symptoms for about the first week: sore breasts, nausea, etc. - however that subsided. I no longer have my period which my gynecologist informed me is very common. Every now and then I'll have a month where I get cramps during the "reminder pill" portion of the pack but it's not common. I take my pill every day at the same time (before bed - set an alarm!) and always keep an extra pack in my purse in case. No weight gain, no acne. I'm very happy."
