Prolonged Period

Updated

So I took my Loestrin inactive pills early to not have my period on the weekend. The last inactive pill I had was Wednesday, and it is now Sunday and I'm still bleeding. I have been taking my pill on time everyday. Any idea what the problem is?

Hi Jacque,

From what I've been told, bleeding on these pills is very common; and may just require an adjustment period for your body to get used to the medication. It will stop eventually (but some users report the abnormal bleeding lasting as long as a few months).

One product review I came across, states the following:
"I'm on the generic for Loestrin, I'm nearly finished with my second pack, and halfway into it I began bleeding and did so for about a week at varying degrees of severity."

I hope this info helps!

The only reason why I am concerned is because I have been on the pill for the past two years and this is the first time it has happened. Just worries me a little bit.
