2 Periods Even After 1 Year On The Pill.

Updated

The last year on Lo Estrin has been up and down. Sometimes I have little to no period and other times it has been heavy and painful. The last few months I've had periods every 2 weeks. Always at then end of the pack but then again in the middle of the next. Does anyone have ideas as to why and if it will stop? Or should I just try another pill? I know when starting a pill there is a grace period. But what about after a year? I rarely skip a pill and when I do I take two pills the next day. Anyone have suggestions?

That time period should only be about 3 months, not a year.

At this point, I'd strongly urge you to just try a different one. There are quite a few others available on the market and it really sounds like this one just isn't agreeing with your body, at all.

I'm sorry you've had such an awful time on it.

Have you explored any other options, yet?

i am going through the same thing. its been about 6 months now. I bleed as soon as i take the white pill and then again 2 weeks later when its my actual 30 day cycle. I thought it would stop after 3 months but it hasnt. It stinks bc this is the only side effect. im not mean and i didnt gain weight at all and at least now i know when im going to spot but is this ever going to stop?? two periods a month is not fun!
