Lovestrine Fe

Has anyone ever used this birth control pill? And have you noticed that it helped change your libido for the better?

I think you mean "Loestrine" not "Lovestrine". I was on Loestrine for a long time, and I believe now I'm on the generic version of it (I think). It didn't do anything for my libido, and I've never had a good libido. Sorry! You can try looking up reviews on google--there are always tons of them for all the different kinds of birth control pills.

I'm on the generic version (was on name brand became too pricey.)  Does nothing for me either way. I just like that it doesnt give me massive mood swings.

 

 TriSprintec (Ortho TriCyclin) made me moody and hormonal not to mention killer cramps.

I think my libido was about the same. I do like that it gives me REALLY short periods - sometimes only a day or two and super light.

I am on Loestrin Fe 24 now. I've been on and off it for a few years.

I have not noticed a decline in libido, which is something I've heard other people complain about on some pills.

I like the short periods. Because of that, it minimizes the migraines associated with getting my period. I'm also cramping for less time and only have a day or so of feeling really emotional.

I have been on loestrin 24 fe a month and a half now and so far I love it. It gave me a very light period, just 2 days instead of my regular 7! I hope the price does not go up anytime soon because so far it is great. I have been using the discount card that my doc gave me which makes it only $24 per refill. Anyone know if they will have another card in 2012?

You can get the generic form with most insurances for 10$.  It is the same (I have used both with exactly the same results mood/period wise).

I am on Loestrin 24 fe.  I briefly tried the generic loestrin but did not like how it extended my periods and made pms symptoms worse.

I've been on Loestrin on and off for 5+ years (I've been on the generic, Junel, for 3 or 4 I think). I really like it - I don't get mood swings and I have really light, short periods even though there are 7 days of placebos. It didn't up my sex drive but it never made it lower like I've heard about other BCP's. I get the generic brand for $15 a month.

You don't have to take all 7 placebos unless you are stuck on starting the pack a certain day.  I take 3 packs then come off for 5 days then start a new pack and go 3 months. This is per doctors ok.
