I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for over a year now and I have only had 1 or 2 periods the entire time. It's just normal with this low dose pill. Before taking Lo Loestrin Fe I was on Loestrin 24 Fe which I did not like at all. I experienced several side effects which caused me to have extreme anxiety. I felt like a crazy person and asked my Doctor to switch me. I was on Loestrin 24 Fe for a year before I switched to Lo Loestrin Fe. When I was on Loestrin 24 Fe I had regular periods every pack just like I was regular before I ever started birth control. I had normal regular periods from age 12 until 24 when I started birth control up until switching to Lo Loestrin Fe. I hope this helps.

Finally after being on lo loestrin for about 7 months and not seeing a period I finally got it four days ago and its still here! Was worried for so long of not having one but now ready for it to leave. So ladies don't worry if you don't see a period for months, when your body is ready to release then it will and my doctor says its all normal!

I had an appointment with my doctor, and she said this pill specifically thins out your uterine wall while on it, and she said with some girls, it makes it thin enough to the point where there is nothing to shed, so therefore, wedont have a period. i had really light periods for the first 9 months on the pill,but then after that point it just stopped. :b

My Dr prescribed LoLoestrin Fe for me & told me to start it the very first day that my period starts. Well I had a very little bit a brownish start on Tues. so I started the pill that night. But my period never did come. Would taking just 1 or 2 pills make it not start? It is now Thursday night & still no period. I have now taken 3 pills. My periods have always been pretty regular.

Ive been on Lo for about 5 months now and only had my period at the beginning. Being like many of you, I was worried and took multiple PG tests, all negative. Upon further research, it appears many women do not have their menstrual cycle while on Lo, so it should not cause alarm (be thankful, ha!) My uneducated mind's guess is that since this pack has you on a hormone regulating level nearly every day (except two), your body may pretty much stay in balance.

Thank you for your insight- being a nurse, you surely understand this medication better than we do. My concern is that I've been taking this pill for years and have always had a period up until about 4 months ago. Give or take a few months here and there with very light or no periods, but I could normally count on it. I will be 40 in April and I just find it strange that all of a sudden, no period. I have all the symptoms of a cycle but no period. I wonder why all of us a sudden this is happening? Most of the respondents have been taking it a much shorter duration of time than me. Thank you!

Lo loestrin Fe is the worst pill ever, I started taking it and in between periods I had a period, before I had finished my first month. I had the worst side effects ever: headaches every day, weight gain in two weeks I gained 10 lbs, anxiety, depression. I stopped taking the pill as I could not bear the headaches and anxiety anymore. Two months after I am still without period. I know the doctor said that this pill should stop my periods or they will be very light but I have not had any ... And I am not taking anything anymore. I hope I am not pregnant.

switching from lo loestrin to loloestrin fe, i have always had irregular periods get it some months & dont get it others. so I'm in the same situation...I missed my period for 3 months but then it finally came lasted 5 days in January as the pills suggested. I've taken several pregnancy tests & all have been negative it has been since November 2 since any sexual encounter and I've taken at least 10 tests the most recent wing last weekend & every single one of them have been negative. for some reason though I seem to think I still may be pregnant because I often get these gas bubbly feelings all around my stomach area & digestion problems...which kind of freaks me out. & every now & then I have cramp like pains l. I'm really worried & don't know what to do. could someone help calm my nerves

i just started my third pack of lo loestrin fe, i had my period and it was regular the first month (december 17-21) i had unprotected sex on january 21st and i was worried i could be pregnant. 4 days after having unprotected sex i started feeling dizzy and wanted to sleep all day. but i have taken several pregnancy test and have all been negative. i think i get dizzy because it is a side effect? or i tested too early? well i am concerned because i have not had my period since december and i am a loyal pill taker, everyday at 10 pm. I guess i will keep testing to be sure. anybody experience something like me or these side effects by the pill please reply to me.

I started LoLoestrin FE right after Loestrin 24. I had sex the next day after starting LoLoestrin. I thought my period had stopped & it was ok to have sex. Actually after that my period lasted a full week. I figured that was my body getting used to the new pills. Now that it's a month later, I didn't get my period. Did I have sex too soon & now at risk for pregnancy or was my timing ok & it's just the pills?

I'm a nurse, just to let everyone know that low estrogen birth control pills sometimes cause amenorrhea ... Our hormones are suppressed. Birth control prevents ovulation or helps regulate it once a month and sometimes some women don't get a period. Don't worry about it. It's an awesome and good thing ESP for girls that go anemic during their period. :)

I've been taking this pill for exactly two months now. My boyfriend and I had sex, but it was protected for half of it. He had been in me for about 5 seconds and then I told him to put a condom on. About 4 days later I began bleeding and it felt like a period because my cramps were bad, but it wasn't the time I was suppose to have it. Now that I"m on the brown pill of the pack my period hasn't started. I don't know if it's part of the regulation process but it's beginning to freak me out. Help!

I am having the same issues as all of you. I have been on Loestrin 24 fe for almost 2 years now. I haven't had a period since July. I have taken every brand of pregnancy tests and all have come back negative. I have cramps, bloating, all the normal peroid symptoms, just no bleeding. I think it's just the pill.

I'm in the same boat. I went to the doc last week and I told the nurse that my last period was in Nov 2012. She freaked out. Well, the doc was not too concern. She asked how I liked it. I told her at first the bloating is so bad. I am still bloated and I've gained so much weight. She said lets try it for 2 more months. I have been so stress about this :(

Agreed! I have been taking Loestrin 24 for years before and after my children and the periods are light and short . Apparently missing periods is common although i still feel the cramping, bloating, etc. right when i start the placebo pills. I think it is worrisome to miss a period but so far this pill has never failed me.

I'm on it and haven't had a period either.
I'm on it for medical reasons, and haven't had sex since I started taking it, so I KNOW there isn't a risk of the pill failing with me. I'd talk to your doctor. But I know if I'm having the same problem and there isn't a chance I'm pregnant, I don't think you need to worry.

Been on Lo Loestrin for 7 months...everything was fine for 3 months then no period at all for the other 3 months which I assumed was normal. But this month I'm 10 days into a heavy period (which started 2 weeks into the active pills) with no end in sight. Is this normal?? I'm freaking out a little. I'm not sexually active so it doesn't have anything to do with a pregnancy
