Lo Loestrin Weird Period (Page 3) (Top voted first)

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 having very weird stuff with Lo Loestrin also. I am about to finish my 2nd pack. First pack I had headaches every evening, gained about 5 pounds and had a super poochy stomach. I haven't gained any weight this month, stomach is still poochy, less headaches. 1st month I had NO bleeding...NONE! This month I started in the 2nd week and have been bleeding for 8 days now! I am about to give up! I don't like being bloated AND what is the point of being on birth control if I am just going to bleed at irregular times. I wouldn't think much of it if I had been spotting the whole 1st month, but NO bleeding 1st month and bleed for 2 weeks straight the 2nd month!

Hello I am also on lo loestrin and my 2nd month as well. And I also have not received a period yet. I was on the nuva ring for over a year and switched to lo loestrin. There were a couple nights I did forget to take the pill. So I was wondering what happened? Did you get your period yet?

I just started lo Loestrin a few days ago. I started them in the first day of my period. My period only lasted 1 day and it's usually 3. Did lo loestrin shorten my period since I started the active pills the first day of my period?
