I've been on Loestrin Fe for the last 10 months and I've absolutely loved it. I'm being switched to a different brand for insurance coverage issues but after reading all of these posts, I'm terrified for anyone who's just been put on this med. I had nothing but good luck with it! I've always had issues with cramps and they went away, my skin cleared up, I don't have mood swings, my breasts did increase a cup size but I was small to begin with so it wasn't an issue. I wear contacts and my eyes haven't changed at all. I never experienced spotting or headaches (migraines run in my family). I put on 5 lbs but I blame that on being a college student who eats poorly. The 4 day period never happened for me it was always 2.5 days, which I loved! Give this drug a chance.
