Loestrin Lo For 10 Days And Already Bleeding Since My 7th. Day
UpdatedI just start taking the pill. I'm new to all of this. Start taking the pill on my first Sunday after my period but on the 7th day, WOW! I'm bleeding like a regular period. Is this normal to bleed so soon after starring taking loestrin lo? Please explain, what I supposed to except for now on!

Hello, Betsymia! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having.
First, you should have started the first day of your period, rather than afterwards. If you start it the first day, then you are immediately protected from pregnancy, since it will prevent ovulation. However, starting it later means that you have to take it for at east 7 days, without missing any pills, before it will be effective at preventing pregnancy.
And yes, it is a hormonal contraceptive, so breakthrough bleeding can occur for the first 3 months or so, while your body is getting used to it, but you should double check with your doctor to be sure.
Is there anything else I can help with?
Thanks for explaining. Okay, can I skip the last for pills(white&brown) in this pack ( 1stpack)and start a new pack when time comes? I don't want to have my period twice in a month. It's that a good idea or it would mess my irregularities even more? Please explain
