Period One Week Late

Updated August 28, 2011

I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 7 months. For the last three or four months, my periods have been consistently ONE week late: Starting the first day of the second week of my active pills. I've called my doctor and he hasn't gotten back to me, but his assistant who took the message led me to believe that I'm not the only patient on Lo Loestrin Fe at their office who has been having this type of situation. Has anyone else experienced this or something similar? I'm not sure if i should be concerned about getting my cycles back in sync with my pill packs or if I should just accept that week two of my active pills will be my period week....? Thoughts, advice??

No, there is really no need to be concerned about it, they are hormonal contraceptives and can affect people differently, so it is quite normal for them to cause an irregular cycle in some women.

In various posts from women that are taking this one, we've had people who have been bleeding almost constantly to those who get no period, at all.

However, as you are worried about it, it is a good idea to discuss it with your doctor, for your own peace of mind.

And I am putting in the links to some of our others posts on this:

Is there anything else I can help with?
