I've been on this pill for a month and am quite satisfied. The first few days I broke out disgustingly but then it all disappeared. I feel nauseous the first hour after taking it every morning. I feel nauseous almost all day after a night of drinking too much alcohol. It isn't difficult to remember to take it everyday. I have an alarm on my phone for 8:30 am everyday because it is easy to remember ... Show Full Comment

I feel nauseous almost all day after a night of drinking too much alcohol. It isn't difficult to remember to take it everyday. I have an alarm on my phone for 8:30 am everyday because it is easy to remember to take it before my morning class. This is the first type of oral contraceptive I have tried. I was so scared to try anything just because of all the side effects. It turned out to be fine and am glad my doctor prescribed it. I was completely unaware of how expensive it is. I'm a poor college student so I get it for free. Since it's so expensive I figure it has to be pretty good right?

I started taking this pill right after getting off of an extremely long irregular period and about a week into the first pill pack i started my period the worse it has ever been, extremely heavy terrible cramping. before being on this pill i would have my period every 3-4months and it would be extremely light, I realize that it can take up to 3months for my body to adjust to this i sure hope it gets better or i will be speaking to my dr about a new pill.

I started this Lo Loestrin FE mostly to help regulate my period. The first 3 months were difficult. I knew from work of mouth that I would HAVE to be consistant on taking the pill at the same time every day and set the alarm on my phone so I wouldn't forget. I had irregular period for 2 months, the third month I missed a pill by half a day and this triggered a period. On month 4, week 4 and no ... Show Full Comment

I had irregular period for 2 months, the third month I missed a pill by half a day and this triggered a period. On month 4, week 4 and no period yet after the second white pill. I had to check reviews to find out that this is normal. It is expensive, though with insurance 3 months are almost $100. I will be checking on another options. I have not broken out in acne. I have not gained weight. I am activly trying to lose weight and it has not made that difficult. I am glad I gave it the 3 month trial. (The DR gave me samples for these 3 months)

I use it for birthcontrol and heavy periods. I've been on it for 4 months now, the first 3 months I had irregular periods, but this month I havnt had one at all. The first few weeks I had upset stomach and nausea and once it went away I have had no more side effects. I honestly don't even know I am on birth control, ZERO side effects.

I've actually been losing weight too not gaining. I'm stll waiting on my period though to see if it is light or comes at all. I've read sometimes you don't get one on this pill. Only negative thing is is that it is EXPENSIVE. It's a category 4 drug and my co-pay is $100. Once I run out of samples I will be stopping this pill b/c I can't afford it. Bummer b/c I love it!

I've been taking this pill for about 4 months. The 1st two months my period was only 2-3 days and for the last two months I've had no period at all. Only gave a 4 star rating because not having anything kept me wondering if I'm pregnant or not. I've stop taking it for now to make sure. It is very very expensive and my insurance doesn't cover it so I'm considering switching to Junel Fe 1.5/30 altho ... Show Full Comment
