Lo Loestrin Fe Pill

I am 33 and started lo loestrin fe as my first contraceptive pill. I was very happy for first three weeks, then I missed my period and started having severe headache and body ache/discomfort. I stopped sleeping...only 2-3 hrs a day at the most. All this while I never missed a pill, had a ph reminder set for early morning. I was concerned about missed period so consulted my gyn who asked me to continue the same. For the next cycle I did get very light period but the pain never stopped and by the end of second month I started having radiating pain in my back, shoulders and head. Finally the pain started radiating to my left arm..that's when my gyn asked me to stop the pill although the sleeplessness continued for almost two weeks after stopping the pill. In the mean time, I was tested for thyroid, pregnancy ...all negative. Now, I am sleeping well but at the same time consulting a neurologist for the pain. What a mess....

I am very sorry to read of what happened to you. Are you feeling any better?

While the other symptoms can be normal side effects to hormonal contraceptives, the pain definitely isn't normal.

Did you doctor check for blood clots? These contraceptives can cause them, in some people and they can sometimes cause this type of pain.

Started taking the Lo Loestrin Fe 1/10 pill eight days later I had numbing in my face. Doctors thought I was having a stroke. Everything came back negative.Thank God. $4,000.00 dollars later it is from a reaction to this pill. Along with migraines. How long does it take to leave my system? I am hoping it leaves soon!
