birth control
"I had abdominal myomectomy several years ago. Unfortunately, my fibroids returned with a vengeance and I had heavy bleeding from the fibroids. My cycle was so heavy last summer that I went to the ER. After my ER visit, my doctor put me on Lysteda. It worked very well for the first 3-4 months. Then, my cycles were heavy again. My doctor suggested Lo Loestrin FE. I started taking these in mid-March on the first day of my cycle. Today is July 27 and I have had my period almost EVERYDAY since mid-March.  My doctor said that I have to give my body at least 6-9 months to adjust to the pills. The upside is that I am not experiencing any of the "normal" side effects.  No nausea, acne, tender breasts, weight gain, etc. I just want a couple of weeks without spotting or full on bleeding."
