new to birth control

emmalie

yesterday, i went to the gynecologist for the first time because of my really bad periods. and my gynecologist prescribed my birth control to make my periods shorter, lighter flow, and less crampy. she gave me a starter kit from Lo Loestrin Fe. i start taking it on my first day of my next period which should be in about a week. does anyone have any advice/tips for me? or have any experiences to share with me?
