Birth Control
"I switched from Lo Loestrin Fe to Apri because I was getting married and wanted to ensure I was having a monthly period (no pregnancy scares for me, thanks). I didn&#039;t experience many side effects at first, but with my first period on the new pill came painful cramping and heavy bleeding. Mind you, I hadn&#039;t had a real period in about a year thanks to Lo Lo Fe, but that sort of pain was why I started birth control in the first place. I&#039;ve been on it about four months now and have seen a significant decrease in my sex drive, which, hello, sucks (newlywed, remember?). I&#039;ve also seen mood swings and nausea the last couple months as my body has been adjusting, and I&#039;m just not about that life. Switching as soon as I can."
