Starting Lo Loestrin Fe

Hi, I started taking lo loestrin on the first day of my period as instructed. Then, my period ended about two days after taking the first pill. It is very abnormal for me to have a period this short. Is this normal when you start taking this pill? I know it shortens your period after taking it for a while, but could it have really effected my cycle after only taking 2 pills?

Hello, Sara! How are you?

Yes, it is possible. The sudden elevation of hormones it can cause has been known to do that, once your body gets used to it, things should normalize. You may experience irregularities for about 3 months, or so.

Is there anything else I can help with?
