REPORT

I am on my 4th pack of Lo loestrin fe. I normally have my period while on the pill but only last for a few days. Lately I have been feeling like my period is coming but hasn't yet. I take my pill everyday there has been a few times I have taking it few hours later than planned. I have had sex but my boyfriend hasn't gone in me. Is this normal?

Starting in 2 weeks will be my third month of Loestrin Fe. The first month, my period came on the last 2 pills which are the brown ones. And now it's the second month, took every single one, some hours later than usual but I've read that it's fine when you do that. But I haven't got a period but I'm feeling nauseous, tender breast but no cramping. Also makes me very scared because I feel like I'm getting pregnancy symptoms?? Don't know if it's normal or not.. Scared..

I'm also curious as to why I would get my period (just spotting)when I've only finished the 21st pill from pack of 28 pills. This is my 2st pack of LOLO.

Any HELP HERE? THANK YOU.

I'm on a 4 month trial of Lo lorestrinFe (sp) that was recommended by my new Gyno as it was proven to help with acne. I'm 32 so adult acne sucks. Anyway, I was told since I was on Cycleflem (sp) a generic version of Notrel 1/35, that I would start this pill once I finished my old pack. So I did. Around the time I normally get my period, a few days prior I sometimes have symptoms to know its coming, and I had those symptoms but no period. I had sex probably a week and a 1/2 into the new pill pack of Lo lorestrinFe and he used a condom however for part he was unprotected but did not finish in me and aside from precum the final didn't get anywhere near me. So this past Sunday, would be starting on pack 3, I did not get my period again after pack 2 finished. I did not take a pregnancy test but I have tried to get a hold of my doctor to see what she thinks. Reaching out here as well. I'm paranoid and overly stressed but that hasn't ever stopped a period before.

I'm going to be 49, and my gyne put me back on the pill because I'm in peri menopause with extreme mood swings not symptomatic with my manic depression (which I take gabapentin during the day and 1mg Clonazepam at might). She said the hormones will "even me out," and it's helped. That said, I've come to the conclusion that after 38 years of tampons, I've had enough, and so I've only been taking the blue tablets. I'm currently on my 4th month, and other than for some light spotting in November, I haven't had a period since late September.

I'm curious....how long can I go on with this? Six months? A year? Can tissue build up and cause trouble later? Do I really need to have a period? A few tidbits....I have no kids and my husband got snipped 25 years ago.

Do I risk uterine/ovarian or breast cancer staying on this path?

I have been on this pill for over three years and have only ever gotten a REALLY slight period twice. The other times no period at all. Everyone I talk to thinks it is not normal but my doctor said that can happen.

2 years, no period after 3 months, it's really weird and I asked my doctor about it and she said it was normal. I haven't had my period in 21 months..... it feels weird

Just curious about whether you ever took a break from the pill? I've been off of it for 2 weeks and haven't had a period. I'm concerned this isn't normal and I know it isn't pregnancy. Your post was reassuring, just wondering if you've been on it steadily the whole time?

Hey I'm on lo loestrin fe and have been for 2 months.. I had strep throat and was on antibiotics for 10 days. I waited 5 days after I stopped my antibiotics before I had unprotected sex.. Tomorrow I start my first Brown pill but I still haven't spotted or anything yet. Is this normal? Has anyone else taken antibiotics while taking lo loestrin fe and if so how long did you wait to have sex after you stopped them.. Please help!

I completely agree. For me it has been a year and it is strange. I've heard from some people that it isn't normal but my doctor keeps assuring me it is okay. Must say...sure has saved on supplies cost! LOL
I sometimes get cramps or a bad headache when i should have the period, but other than that...nothing.

I was on Tri Sprintec for a year and my dr switched me to LoLo. I had one very mild period in the first month and then nothing for the following 2 months. I quit taking it and am now a month off the pill and still no period. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests over the past 2 months and all were negative. Very weird that so many people are not having periods with this med and for me, even a month after I quit taking it.

I, too, was worried about the endometrial tissue building up. I was actually prescribed birth control to help with my endometriosis symptoms and was assured by my doctor that birth control acrially prevents the building up of the tissue which is why it is effective in treating endometriosis symptoms.

Yes, my cousin was missing periods. I was having very short periods (like 1-2) days at first but this month all I've seen was small dots. I guess it is something multiple women experience.
