Birth Control
"I am towards the end of my third month on Lo Loestrin Fe and I&#039;m wearing a pad for spotting half the month still. It tends to start the second week of pills in the pack and last about a week, then it goes away and comes back about 4 days before the white pills.  I&#039;m not really sure when the spotting stops and the period begins.  The bleeding is mostly brownish.  I have gained close to 15 pounds in the last three months, which is depressing, and I seem to be more moody than I used to be.  I was hoping that the breakthrough bleeding would have decreased by now, but I have been keeping track on a calendar and it has not.  One good thing is that I do not have the weekly migraines that I had on my old birth control (Yaz)."
