Stopped Lo Loestrin Fe 5 Days Ago- Still No Period

Updated

I have been taking Lo Loestrin Fe for 4 months now and i have only had 1 peroid and that was in the first month. I have continued having weird reactions so i have chosen to stop the pill. I stopped it on a blue pill 3 days before i switched to the white. It has been 5 days now and still no period. When should I expect to get it? Pregnancy test was neg a week ago. This drug just really seems to have me messed up. Anyone have any helpfull info? Thanx!

Have you consulted your doctor?

It is difficult to say when you may start your menstrual cycle, since as you said, it clearly has your hormones messed up, somewhat.

There are other hormonal contraceptives that you can try, that may work better for you. But only your doctor can help you decide that.

Well it has been over 6 months now and still no period. i would not recommend this pill to anyone. It has my body so messed up. Atleast the other side effects like headaches and mood swings stopped soon after i stopped taking it.

I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 3 months and got a period once around the 2nd week of month 2. I finished my last pack 3 weeks ago and still no period. Pregnancy tests are all negative. I don't trust this pill, too many side effects (including weight gain). Once my body goes back to it's regular schedule I'm going back on Loestrin 24Fe

I was on lo loestrin fe for about 4 months in the 4th month, I started getting stomache aches, head aches, pain through out the body, felt pretty sick. I felt so sick I was concerned I was pregnant, I took a test and it was negative. The 2nd day of not taking the blue pill I got my period, but in the 4 months of taking lo loestrin fe, I only spotted twice.

I never had any bad side affects when I was on Lo Loestrin Fe. I stopped having a period in the second month of taking it. I got concerned and did research. From what I've found, you won't get a period at all while taking this birth control. I stopped taking it almost 3 weeks ago (want to get pregnant later this year) to get back on a regular cycle before trying to have a baby and I have yet to get my period. I am glad to see I am not the only one, but I will be very concerned if a month goes by and I don't start my period. I will be consulting with my doctor if that happens.

I too was on Loestrin for about 3 years after switching from Yaz. I stopped taking it two months ago because me and my husband want to start trying to conceive. I have not had a period in two months, and preg. tests are negative. I too had horrible back aches, nipple soreness, headaches, mood swings, and weird cravings after stopping the pill. I have read up on this pill and from what I have read I will never go back on birth control again!!! It has screwed up my body big time. I never had a real period when on this pill- just spotting and brown stuff, which is not healthy. A doctor told me that some birth control pills thicken the lining of your uterus too much and it makes it hard to shed, and that is why you have lighter periods. But overall I do not believe that is healthy- the pill is stopping a natural process and look at what it has done to us!
I have had to be put on medicine before to make my body have a period- the medicine is an awful 8 day regimen that made me vomit every day. I couldn't finish the 8 days of pills it was so bad. I really hope I don't have to go on that pill again- I am so pissed off that doctors don't tell us stuff like this they just write prescriptions all day!!
I am going to the doctor tomorrow to see what she thinks I should do about this- I would like to wait it out and hope that my body recovers naturally. I hope everyone on here talks to their doctor about their condition to make sure it is nothing serious!

Hi! I am considering going off of Lo Loestrin FE (it's actually worked really well for me.) Are there any side effects to going OFF of the pill, particularly this one?

I started taking lo loestrin fe at the end of August and stopped at close to the end of October or so. While taking the pill I had 2 periods for both packs and them lasting for a week or so. I have yet to start my period and that scares me. Before I got on the pill my period was finally starting to get normal. Since I was a teenager i've had problems in that department. I've contacted my ob and they said take a test and all that, but they are all negative. Still no period, but bloating. So i don't know what's going on???

I took lo loestrin fe for like 4 weeks in April but didn't like it. it's mid June and still no period. I'm very worried and I'm about to go take a preg test. I'm really hoping it's just the hormones messing me up.

I have been taking lo loestrin for almost a year now. I have had MAYBE two actual periods the whole time. Sometimes I would even get so concerned that I wasn't having a period that I would wait a whole week before starting my new pack...& even this didn't help. The first time I had my period while on it was 3 days after starting Cipro an antibiotic for a UTI I had. Since taking antibiotics makes your birth control ineffective, I figured this was probably why I started. But honestly I haven't had a true period at all other than that, & the short period of "breakthrough bleeding" that happens about 2 weeks after starting it. I've heard of some people having really long heavy periods while on this,& others like me who have no period at all. So It really depends on your body but it may take a month or so for your body to begin a cycle without the use of the birth control hormones.

Figured I'd write something since I was reading this forum freaking out like the rest of you a couple weeks ago.

I was on lo loestrin fe for about 7 months. I had absolutely no problems and loved it! I only experienced VERY slight spotting (if you can even call it that since it was so light) on the brown pills each month until they completely disappeared during my 5th month on the pill. About 1 week into my 5th pack I had really heavy breakthrough bleeding. I was SUPER worried because it was during the blue pills and I had never had breakthrough bleeding whatsoever since starting the pill.

The following 2 months I continued taking the pill normally but never had any bleeding/spotting since that breakthrough bleeding instance. I was anxiety ridden and basically came to the paranoid conclusion I was pregnant. I took 4 tests all spaced out over the next couple weeks and all negative. I got so paranoid I finally stopped taking the pill at the end of my 7th pack so I would get my period and quit freaking out.

I stopped the pill and still NO PERIOD for about 25 days. I was going crazy! I read all about cervical mucus and trying to predict if I ovulated, if I was EVER going to get my period... or if I had to face my fears and realize I was truly pregnant. I became a true crazy woman! Then my period finally came on day 25 and it also came along with the WORST cramps I have ever had. I remembered why I went on the pill in the first place! If you are worried you are pregnant, take a test! If the test is negative, don't freak out like me and stop the pill. Chances are, you are not pregnant and you can avoid the cramps that come with getting your period again!

I was on lolo fe for less then a month and it was a complete nightmare. Within the first few days I became an emotional train wreck. I also experienced extreme fatigue, beast tenderness and dizziness. Eventually the breast tendernes went away but then I noticed I started losing ridiculous amounts of hair. To the point of having bald patches on my scalp. I was determined to try and stick it out but by the third week I was getting terribly dizzy accompanied by horrible headaches. When I started cramping and spotting I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to stop taking the pill all together. With about 5 blue pills left. I read such mix reviews about this pill some sounded awesome but this birth control pill is definitel not for me! This experience has been a nightmare!!!!!

Hey, my periods are coming about every 3 weeks, heavy 2 days, then tapering off. I feel much more in control emotionally. I am actually using vegan estrogen and progesterone Creams and think they level me off. I was concerned about using just estrogen as can cause estrogen syndrome. I ended up having a tubal ligation as my husband was unable to have vasectomy. Had it last week and am fine, no pain.

I was on for three months. after the first month I experienced extreme weight gain, bloating, and vaginal stinging as if I can a cut in my vaginal and any discharge passing stung. I got off after 3 months because I was convinced the stinging was due to the birth control. Been off for two months and still have no period. Stinging has stopped however I do have lower abdominal cramping. I'm praying it isn't a cyst or anything else serious.
