Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on Lo Loestrin for a little over a month now. I&#039;ve experienced slight weight gain (no more than 5 lbs, all of which seemed to end up around my mid-section of course!). No increase in breast size, which I was greatly hoping for. I was previously on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for a month and that was bad. The lower dose of hormones in this pill seems to really be working for me. However, I didn&#039;t even get so much as a slight period last week when I was supposed to have one. I&#039;m one of those women who want a period EVERY month, just to be sure so I&#039;m a bit unhappy with the lack of a period on this birth control. I occasionally experience nausea, fatigue and irritability but nothing that interferes terribly with my life."
