A member asked:

If i weigh 155lbs, will lo loestrin fe still work for me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It should: Yes Lo Loestrin should still work, be in close relationship with your MD who prescribed it to you so you can keep up with any side effect (should not have much). You may experience irregular periods the first 1-2 months but after that should be regulated. Check your hemoglobin/anemia regularly as well.
