Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on Lo Loestrin Fe for almost a year now. I really haven&#039;t had very many side effects with it.

The one thing that&#039;s been a major problem is inconsistency with my periods, which was a problem before I started taking birth control too. There have been months when I haven&#039;t had a period at all, and others when I&#039;ve had a period as well as breakthrough bleeding mid-month. I&#039;m switching to a pill with a little bit more estrogen in it to see if that will regulate my period better.

I haven&#039;t missed any pills, and I take them within two hours of one another everyday. I was initially really worried about nausea being an issue, so I take them at night - but I&#039;ve had no problems. I did have some breast tenderness for the first few months, but it&#039;s gone now."
