Lo Loestrin Fe - Missed Periods (Page 2)
UpdatedI've been taking Lo Loestrin Fe at the same time every day consistantly for two months with no period... is this normal?
Ive had the EXACT same thing. I just finished my sencond month of this pill. The first month I missed my period but had about 3 days of brown discharge and now just finished the second pack and am hoping for a period within the next few days
Im on my first pack on loloestrin, i started taking them on sunday and today is saturday. When i started it i noticed that i was spotting a little and it wad really irritating so i stopped on Wednesday night, well i started my period today and so i have to catch up on the pills i missed. My qusestion is when can i expect for my period to stop. plz let me know.
Hey guys, I've been on loestrin fe for almost 4 years and haven't gotten a period since I've been put on it. The gynocologist said this is very normal with loestrin and there's nothing to worry about! So enjoy not having a period! It's been awesome!
I am so glad you posted that. I've been on since Nov/Dec and no period. I had spoken to two doctors who both said it was normal, but it still seemed so odd. I had random spotting mid cycle this month for the very first time, though. Not sure what that means...
I've been on lo loestrin fe for 3 and a half months now and i didn't get a period till about 2 days ago. i thought it was the brown spotting but it was a lot thicker the past day and I've also had light cramps. i thought it was a little weird to get it in the middle of my pack. i have been on time with my pill +/- a half hour everyday. its nice not having a period but its nice having a period because you know your not pregnant. don't know how i feel about staying on this
Jenny - even though I don't feel it is a good idea to have sex while still in high school - I do applaud you for being smart enough to use birth control. The depression can be normal - when I was on Yaz a few years ago, the first few months I was very emotional and would start crying over the stupidest things - so definitely let your boyfriend know that this pill might make you a bit more emotional (will make him a bit more understanding). It should go away after a few months (I'd give it 6). If it does not, or if you are REALLY depressed then I would switch to a different pill.
Hi all! I just finished my first pack of lo Loestrin FE and began my second pack today. I've never missed a single pill and my boyfriend and me still use condoms during sex. Last month I got my period on the 8th of May, and while I know it's not yet the 8th of June, I have already taken the two brown pills and started my next pack. Is it normal to have an irregular or no period during the first month? I'm going to assume I'm not pregnant because we still use condoms too!
I,ve been on the pill for about 3 weeks and last month i got my period on the 8th and i wasnt on the pill now it is the 9th and i still didnt get it and after unprotected sex i missed my pill twice but i took 2 the next day could i be pregnante?
hello all, i am on my first pack of loestrin.i started taking them a week after my period. today i started the last row of pills but my period started yesterday and i was cramping friday and saturday. is this normal? my period is usually around the 8th of the mnth but it started officially yesterday. What is going on? should i get a stronger pill? i dont want to see my period.
Wait, so even if your sexually active and rely soley on this pill and dont get your period, it is still a reliable contraceptive?
I am 27 years old and have never missed my period. I was taking Lutera for about 2 years with no problems until suddenly I was experiencing side effects... including slight weight gain, severe headaches and insomnia. I decided to make the switch to Lo Loestrin Fe three months ago. After my first month I experienced some spotting when I began my second month of pills. This past month I completely skipped my period (first time in my life!) Now, this month I should have gotten my period two days ago... and nothing yet. I took 5 pregnancy tests over the past two months just to be completely certain. I have been under a lot of stress studying for the bar exam so I wasn't sure if these sudden missed periods were a result of my stress or the birth control. I am relieved now to see that I am not the only one experiencing this.
If you are worried about pregnancy, take a test to ease your mind. When I first switched to Loestrin 24 Fe I had severe bloating and I felt pretty awful for the first few months. It took me about 4 months for my body to get used to the new pill. Multiple forms of protection are always good! :-)
I am on my 3rd pack of loestrin. I have not had a period since using it. Only spotting and my belly is bloated and i gained weight even though my eating habits and exercise routine have not changed. Is that normal
i started loestrin 24 fe in january and had really bad side effects so my doctor switched me to lo loestrin fe. before i started, my period was always heavy and regular, to the day. and now that i started this pill, i had very light periods the first two months and these past two months i haven't gotten my period at all. I've taken many tests and they've all come out negative. i hope it really is normal for this to happen!
I just got on the pill about two months ago and i had sex during my second month while skipping pills my first month and i havent had a period either.. I plan on taking a pregnancy test also, its kinda scary not having a period and never knowing soo im switcching my birth contol at the end of this month..
I just finished my first pack of pills without a period. I switched from just loestrin to lo loestrin. I've had pms according to my b/f, but no period, all of the bloating, irritability, and being hungry. I heard that it is quite common.
I think loestrin is a very reliable pill. I have been on it for a year and have a very active sex life and i am not pregnant. My only worry is I just switched to lo loestrin and i just finished my first pack and no period. But i think my body needs to get used to it.
Been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 18 month which is 1yr and 6 months havint got my period I feel like something might happen don't know what to think my doctor said it ok but I still feel like its not normal
I've been taking Lo Loestrin for a year now. I had a little spotting the first few months and now nothing! I've ask my gyno many times about it and he says it is completely normal for women, especially younger (I'm 21), to not get a period. I always had a light period on Yaz, but now with the switch I've seen none! Don't stress to much, it is apparently very common :) I have seen some more acne problems with the Lo Lo which I might ask about on my next visit.. but that's been all. Hope this helps!
It seems like missing a period on lo loestrin is very common or at least I hope. I have taken the last pill for my first pack and still no period, but I am very bloated, still have back pain as if I am about to start my period but nothing, I will wait one more month to see and if nothing again I will switch, I am not very comforted not having a period.
