A member asked:
Dr. gave me lo loestrin fe as a refill for my loestrin 24 fe. i see the 24 fe is discontinued. is the lower hormones less effective? what to expect?

Lower dose: The lower dose is designed to minimize side effects but the trade off is more breakthrough bleeding. There are hundreds of birth control options on the market most of which are slight variations of each other with minimal differences. I recommend taking whichever is cheapest on your insurance.
