Periods At Random Times While On Lo Loestrin Fe

I am on my 3rd pack/month. I am spotting/feeling very PMS during the second week and have been getting my period during the 3 week, well before the inative week. I am gaining weight. Since I have gotten my period I don't feel like there is any chance I am pregnant. Any help?

Hello, Niki! How are you? I'm sorry about the issues you've been having.

Irregular bleeding and PMS symptoms can be normal for the first 3 months, or so, while your body is getting used to the new hormonal balance from oral contraceptives. Things should settle down soon, unless your doctor feels there is reason for concern.

If they continue, however, you may need to switch to a different OC, as these just might not be the right ones for you.

The weight gain is also normal, most women gain about 10 pounds, when taking oral contraceptives.

Is there anything else I can help with?
