Stopped Lo Loestrin Fe 5 Days Ago- Still No Period (Page 3) (Top voted first)

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!

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've been taking Lo LoEstrin for about 2 years now and the past 6 months have been so weird. I haven't had sex since 8/12 and I haven't had my period for about that long but pregnancy tests are negative. The past few days I've noticed leg pain and lower back/side pain around my kidney area and I'm starting to wonder if it's from these pills. My dr told me that it's normal to not get your period all the time when on bc because of the hormones. I'm getting a bit nervous now. I'm going to call my dr office Monday and ask about it all because I didn't even think that any of my issues except for the period thing would be linked to the bc.

I was on Lo loestrin for five months, but the weight gain was not what I expected. I stopped a month ago-- no period, but had ovulation pains in right side, those went away. My doctor put me on this for perimenopause symptoms.

Hi. I too have stopped the lo loestrine fe after two months. I was on Yaz prior to switching to lo loestrine fe for many years. Ether way, I never got my period during those two months on the lo loestrine fe. I decided to stop, as my husband and I are trying to conceive. I haven't gotten my period and am freaking out a bit. I've taken pregnancy tests and ovulation tests, all which have been negative. I have been extremely nauseous and have been getting terrible headaches since I stopped this pill. How long will it take until I get my period??? Has anyone else had similar reactions?? Any advice would help. Thanks!!

Same issue as you. Was on Yaz since end of 2008 then was switched to Beyaz when all the issues with Yaz came out. I never had one issue with Yaz. Normal periods, no mood swings. Decided to ask for a switch in April at my annual appt (seeing all the negative commercials about Yaz made me nervous), and doc put me on Lo Lo Fe. Was on it for 2 months and never had a period. HATED that. So I decided to stop taking BC all together because we are going to try for a second baby later this year. It's been 3 weeks and no period. Cramping here and there but no other side effects.

Did your issues get resolved yet??

I have the opposite problem. Instead of not getting a period mine won't go away. I was kinda taking the pill some days and not taking it other days for about two weeks and then Wednesday i just stopped taking them all together because me and my husband are gonna start ttc. And the whole time ( about three weeks) I've been bleeding everyday. It's so frustrating :/

Hello, I would LOVE some feedback on these issues with Lo-lo esterin! I was reading the more recent posts, and saw you all have had similar experiences with going off this pill. I have just recently turned 39 (!), and finally decided to forego birth control pills. My last pack of Lo-lo ended July 27, and have been off since. However my husband and I have been thinking about a 4th child for awhile and have not used any other back up method, the few times we've had intercourse since then. I have had serious bloating, (and the other things that come with it) extreme fatigue, some light dizziness and have been EXTREMELY "scatterbrained" for a couple of weeks now! Also had severe cramping one night a couple weeks back. Any ideas? I believe my period came last that weekend of July 25. No period still. Could I already be pregnant??? I am concerned, and really don't know what to say or do (except take a test) about this! I would greatly appreciate any feedback or advice. Anyone else had similar experience?

I have been having really bad abdominal pains along with no period too... Did you ever consult a doctor? If so, what did he/she say if you don't mind me asking? I'm very worried and I have practically no way to see a doctor?? :(

Everything you guys are saying is happening to me as well! I stopped taking the pill mid September and still no period. Was worried I was pregnant but now after hearing all this I'm just concerned about what my body is going through. We are going to try for baby #2 but not for awhile and I'm just worried about what this pill did to me:( hoping it didn't screw me up so badly that it's going to be a problem conceiving again! If anyone finds answers please post!!!
