Loestrin 1 20 Fe birth control?

i was prescribed this today because i have heavy periods with bad cramps. i'm afraid it will make my acne worse or cause unwanted hair growth (i read this online) and i've seen that loss of scalp hair is a side effect. anyone have any luck with this pill? if it's as bad as it sounds online, there is no way i am putting this into my body- i'll just suck it up for the 8 days my period is.Loestrin 1 20 Fe birth control?
im on it and i havent had any extra hair growth or acne or hair loss. the only problem ive had is spotting around my second week for maybe four days. but your periods only last like 1-4 days so its awesome!
