Lo Loestrin Weird Period (Page 2)

I've been on lo loestrin for 2 months. I take my second brown pill of my 2nd pack tomorrow. I've never missed a pill & take them within a few hrs diff a day every so often when it has slipped my mind. ( have a phn reminder now). Anyway, I've never had a bc where I've missed a period. I have been spotting very lightly to where a thin pad/liner will do the job. I've been cranky & bloating & cramping like always but have had no real bleeding. I don't think I'm prego but I am concerned. Everything I've been reading is talking ab where girl's are bleeding like crazy & I'm hvn the opposite effect. I mean, it's kinda nice not really hvn a period this month but should I be concerned? Also, does anyone hv to pee a lot on this? I mean for the past 2 months since I started I constantly have to pee. Is this a side effect?? I also thought that might've been a side effect but idk. Any advice would help. Ty!

I have been on Loestrin for almost 3 years. I have not gotten my period in over 2 years. My doctor says it's totally normal to not get a period at all. I do spot every now and then.. the past two months I have experienced minor spotting and cramps that happen when I'm supposed to get my period. That was another thing my doctor had mentioned.. a lot of people will get cramping or bleeding around the time they usually get their period. I'm definitely glad I don't have a period, although it is weird to me that I haven't had it in over 2 years. I never experienced weight gain when I took it. So far I don't have any complaints, but it is the only one I have been on.

I am also on Lo Loestrin FE and have weird breast tenderness. Did you ever find anything out about it?

I am currently in the middle of my second pack of Lo Loestrin and have been experiencing non-stop spotting, as well as extreme breast soreness and tenderness. They feel so hard and heavy; it's very very uncomfortable.

When I was on Loestrin 24Fe for the last 6 years or so, I've never had any of these issues. I only recently switched to Lo Loestrin because I wasn't able to get a coupon for Loestrin 24Fe.

These pills are so expensive, how is everyone paying for it? Do you know how I can get a coupon for the original Loestrin 24Fe if my obgyn doesn't have coupons anymore? Help!

lo loestrin low dose of estrogen available in any birth control pill.Few total bleeding days per month lasting less then 4days on average.butDo not use Lo Loestrin® Fe if you smoke cigarettes and are over 35 years old. Smoking increases your risk of serious cardiovascular side effects (heart and blood vessel problems) from birth control pills, including death from heart attack, blood clots or stroke. This risk increases with age and the number of cigarettes you smoke.You should not use birth control pills if you have or have had blood clots; breast cancer or any cancer that is sensitive to female hormones; a history of heart attack or stroke; high blood pressure that medicine can’t control; diabetes with kidney, eye, nerve, or blood vessel damage; liver disease or liver tumors; certain kinds of severe migraine headaches; jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes) caused by pregnancy; or if you are or may be pregnant.

Birth control pills increase the risk of serious blood clots, especially in women who have other risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, or age greater than 35. It is possible to die from a problem caused by a blood clot, such as a heart attack or a stroke. The most common side effects reported by women taking Lo Loestrin® Fe in a study were nausea/vomiting, headache, spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods, painful menstruation.Know more visit: avinandan.in

I have been on Lo Loestrin since January. Every pack I start, I have light bleeding. Whenever I have my "period" at the end of the month, it's really light, almost like I don't even have a period at all. This past month I completely skipped my period. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I'm extremely bloated and I feel like I'm gaining weight because I haven't had my period. From what I have read, it seems that skipping periods is a regular thing when taking this pill. But it's been making me really moody. My boyfriend and I do not use condoms and we've never had a scare. I take my birth control around the same time every morning. Overall, I'm really unhappy with this pill. I don't like these side effects. It keeps me on edge because I feel like I have to take a pregnancy test every month to make myself feel better. I'm planning on switching back to my old birth control.

I too am on my second month. The first month was fine - except for like so many others here, I was spotting almost the ENTIRE month. I am a week into my second pack and am seeming to get a little more than spotting, so maybe this counts as a period, but I am also bloating a lot and am SOOOO hungry! I have been resisting eating because I am small but I want to! My question is, after month 3 or 4, does the bloating go away? A lot of things I have read made it sound like it evens out after month 3/4 but I wanted someone else's experience.

I have only taken loestrin 24 fe before and gained 15lbs. Yuck.

Hi, I've been on lo loestrin for 9 months now, I just started my tenth month. And I have very frequent light periods. They are light to medium and they are about every other week for five to six days if not more often. I'm not pregnant and I'm good about thing my pill on time. So maybe you're just having the opposite effect. Although yours seems to be the better of the two (:

I am 22 years old and finally started taking birth control. Loestrin seems to make me really moody at odd times. I haven't gained any weight and my boobs do feel a bit tender. However, I haven't stopped bleeding since I started my first pack which was 2 1/2 weeks ago. I know it's my first month and I should let it level out with my body, but everyone is telling me the bleeding might last for over a month...is this true? Plus the whole moody and crying part is anyone feeling that way too?

I am 52 years old and have been taking lo loestrin now for about a year because of preimenopause and having abormal periods (always bleeding). I haven't had any bleeding (period) for the whole year, but now all of a sudden, I'm having a period and I'm not even on the white/brown pills. I'm in the middle of the blue pills. Have no idea what is going on.

I have been on loestrin for years and I never have a period unless I allow myself to have one by skipping a month of pills. I get off the pill about once a year so that I will have a normal period. And I do. I never take the brown pills but I wait until the following Sunday after my last white pill to start the new pack. It's really nice to have control over my periods. I've been using this pill for about 7 years. One thing... I still get PMS every month like clock work lol

I will be started my 4th pack today. Before I had my period for two weeks and it was extremely heavy. but when I started this pill I only needed a liner on the white and brown days. On the 8th was my last blue pill before the white pills and I lightly spotted. And then spotted again on the first white pill but then nothing after. I took my second blue pill of the 4th pack today and I've been ovulating for te past two weeks but no period. Should I be worried? I've never missed a period and I was suppose to meet my dr. But he's been booked for the past month. I don't know if I should take a test just to be sure or wait it out until the end of the 4th pack. Is it normal to skip periods when you get to this point in the packs?
