Lo Loestrin Birth Control Pill

Slight TMI warning.
I'm prescribed to LoLoestrin too, and have been on it for the last nearly 1.5 yrs. I find it OK, it helps keep my periods to a very minimal flow, and mine get over in 2 days (Happy me...yeah!), and the whole cycle works like clock-work. No surprises.
I used to get headaches and stomach cramps and my legs and back used to ache badly before and during first day of my period. All these symptoms still occur in small proportions, but are much manageable, thanks to the pill.

I know each woman has her own style of symptoms during periods, and I believe no pill can cause them to totally vanish. But you are right, pills work well for some, and not so well for others. Keep at it for at least 2 cycles, and see how your symptoms improve or worsen or don't change.

I have not had any problems on this pill other than a bit of PMS, but I had that before, too. GYN says it's one of the least problematic with regard to mood swings and such.

I started this pill lst wed. I have had a headache for the last week. But i think its because of stress. TOday i've been really sick to my stomach too, ws wondering if it was the pill. I'm still breastfeeding so i worry about that too, but they said the estrogen was really low in it that the baby should be ok. I got really sick on the minipill so they put me on this.

I never had any problem with it, I took this pill for about 10 years.
