Spotting Lo Loestrin Fe
(Newest replies first)

Hi
Just started on Lo Loestrin Fe and got my period on time (perfect) but now it wont go off. Just when I think that its over I begin to bleed (not too heavy but not too light either). I have been bleeding now for seven days and my period normally last only four. The blood now is a light pink to light red color! I read to give it at least three packs. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hi! I have been on Lo Loestrin for almost three months now (my third pack ends next week) and I have had the same problem for all three months. I have had very few days that I have not been on my period and it has gotten frustrating! However after reading a lot on here, I have decided to stay on it for another three months because most say that after three months your body had adjusted to it. I started on it and my doctor told me to expect no period at all and that really excited me! So hopefully now that I have been taking it for a while, ill get the POSITIVE side effect. Just in my opinion I would suggest you do the same as me and just give it a chance, six months down the road see if there's a difference then take it from there! Good luck

This break through bleeding can be completely normal, and just as you read, it can last for the first 3 months that you are taking it, while your body adjusts to the hormones.

If you find it really problematic, then you should contact your doctor, it may not be the right choice for you to use.

Are there any other questions or comments?
