Problem With Irregular Period After Restarting The Lo Loestrin Fe Again

I forgot the last week weeks of pills and according to instruction I have to restart taking a new pack and discard those remaining last two weeks of pill ( which I did ).

A day after missing my pill, I got my period ( like normal and on schedule )

I restarted taking the Lo Loestrin Fe back 2 weeks after being off it. Then my period started again 20 days after the last day of my period. It was light ( like my last period ). But the problem or concern I have now is that I got the period for a week, then it stopped for 2 days, then came back for another 2 days ( also light that it is ok to just wear pantiliner ) then after that it stopped for another 2 days, now its back again and I am having little cramps like I am having period. Is this normal?

Yes, that can happen, if you miss pills and/or restart a new pack. You've basically thrown off the hormonal balance that they were maintaining for you.

If you're concerned, then please consult your doctor, but these irregularities are usually expected.

The FDA lists other possible side effects of oral contraceptives as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS like symptoms.

Is there anything else I can help with?
