First Week On Lo Loestrin Fe, No Period, Normal?
(Newest replies first)

Hello all, I am new to Lo Loestrin Fe, just started my first pack 5 days ago when I started spotting for my period. Typically I spot for two days then have extremely heavy bleeding for 3 or 4 days then spot for another 2. I had normal spotting the first day, light spotting the next and haven't had anything else yet. I'm finding it hard to believe that this pill can stop my period after only 3 days.. Now 5. I did take an at home pregnancy test and it came back negative. My boyfriend and I have only had intercourse once since my last period and we were careful, had no problems with the condom... So thoughts? Anyone else have this drug magically stop their periods first week taking it?

Hi I am taking the Lo Loestrin/Fe for 2 weeks now. My doctor prescribed that because I am planning to get married soon. I started on 1st Sunday after my period. Now after taking the pill for 2 weeks I am having a light period with cramps. Also I would like to know if this bc can worse acne. I don't have serious problem with acne but I read that this bc can worse acne... I am afraid. I did not have problems until now. Thanks.

Some women don't have periods, at all, while taking this contraceptive. It is hormonal based and if you periods were lasting that long and you had that many heavy days, then it's most likely that your hormones were imbalanced, thus even a day or two of adding the correct amount of hormones to get them back to where they should be could be enough to do this.

You should check with your doctor to be certain there's nothing else going on, but in most cases, this is just a normal thing.

Have you consulted your doctor, yet?
