Lo Ovral: So far so good

A year after starting the pill, I think I've finally found one that works for me! I've been through leg cramps and breast tenderness on Yaz, alternating between no periods and month-long break through bleeding on Loestrin 24/FE, plus both of those pills just made me feel icky. Not bad enough to stop them for that reason alone, but I just sort of always felt PMS-y.

I've finished my first month on Lo Ovral, and things are going well. My libido was mostly fine on Yaz and Loestrin, but it's be phenomenal on Lo Ovral. Also, I just feel like myself again. No random crampiness or breast tenderness. No weird bleeding. No major fatigue. Yay!

Just thought I'd post in case someone is out there searching for answers. Of course, not every pill is right for everyone, but I'm hoping this one works out for me! Good luck to everyone else.

I'm glad Lo-Ovral works for you! I am going back on it as well this month. I have been on Loestrin 24, and I don't like it. This is my fourth month, and I am having spotting again. It's very light but the cramps are AWFUL! I never had these problems on Lo Ovral (Cryselle) so my doc said I could switch back. I can't wait! I hope it continues to work for you. It is by far my favorite pill.
