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 &quot;period&quot; 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&#039;t solve. I&#039;ve also had some occasional nausea, but nothing too bad, and it passes quickly.  And I&#039;ve gained 1/2 a cup size.  Overall I&#039;ll stick with this pill and hope the spotting goes away in the next few months because that&#039;s my only real complaint. "
