Lo Loestrin Fe Late Period?

Hi guys! I have been taking Lo loestrin Fe for four months now. I have had a normal period in these months. They usually come 2-3 days early and are light. But this month I did not get a period and I am now 6 days almost seven days late. I have however, had spotting for the last couple of days but only in the morning for an hour and at night for around 30 minutes. I asked my mom about it and she's scared I might be pregnant. I have missed a pill or two and don't take them the same hour every day. It varies. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else or should I be taking an at home pregnancy test?

Hello Addy! How are you?

Yes, if you've missed a couple of pills, then a pregnancy test would be a good idea.

However, changes to your period, such as it just being spotty can happen with hormonal contraceptives. It's best to double check with your doctor to see if they think it's anything to worry about, but I doubt it's a concern.

If you have a smart phone, then you may want to check out the reminder apps, many are free and they can help you remember to take them in the future, so you don't miss any.

Is there anything else I can help with?
