Stop Taking Lo Loestrin Fe

I have been on Lo Loestrin for 5 years, whenever i would miss 3 or more pills i would experience light bleeding for a few days and occasional spotting. I recently stopped taking it and its been over a week and still havent gotten my period. Could it be possible that im pregnant? Im have experienced some sickness and tiredness but im also on zoloft and lorezapam so im not sure if its just a side affect from the meds.

Did you have unprotected sex during any of those times when you missed 3 or more pills? If so, I think it would actually be wise to test and see if you really are pregnant. Not to jump to any conclusions, but this would also explain the sickness and feelings of tiredness.

On another note, both Lorazepam and Zoloft list extreme tiredness and nausea as a side effect.

In my opinion, the first step would be to check and see if you're pregnant. Because if you really are, then you may even have to talk to your doctor about the safety of those medications during pregnancy.

I hope this helps in any way!

Yes I did have unprotected sex a few times during the week I was not taking the birthcontrol. I took a test a few days ago and it was neg, but maybe I should try another test soon. Its just strange because ive been.on zoloft and lorazapam for two months now and the symptoms went away a few weeks after I started them.

Thanks for your help!
