Stopped Lo Loestrin Fe 5 Days Ago- Still No Period (Page 4) (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!

I also have been on the pack for two years without any period. I just stopped taking the pill and have no gotten my period back. How long did it take you to get your period and become regular?

Hey all I browsed this looking for comfort on the coming OFF lo loestrin fe.
I started it dec '12 & returned to the dr because I was bleeding out but was assured to give it time & it was normal. So things cleared up & thru summer I had no period! Was fun but wore a panty liner always to be safe.
Then about sept '13 I got a week of brown light odd 8 day spotting & kept occurring once a month after, with zits and crazy pms.
I was due for my annual in jan. as my yrly pack would be out, so I stopped & wasn't seen until feb 18. My point being dr gave me a new pill that I'll be normal again but told me not to start it until I get my period. Well it's march 3rd. Great wait kinda want my period back!!

Are you still feeling hormonal even though you don't bleed?

Hi I would like to know if you felt any of these symptoms as well dear. I was on this awful pill for three weeks. I stopped on the Sunday of my third week because I started getting abnormal bleeding. My doctor told me to stomach immediately. Ever since I stopped I was admitted into the ER once for very high heart rate, dizzy, sweaty palms, shaking from being so cold, muscle aches, entire right side of body numbing and the worse stomach indigestion and pain. I have done a full blood panel and have checked for blood cloths. I pray this is just a withdraw from this disgusting pill.

Hello ladies I would like to know if any of you experienced what I am going through since I stopped this awful pill. I was taking it for only one month when on my third week I started getting heavy abnormal bleeding. My doctor had me stop the pill immediately. Within just one day I started getting the worse leg cramp and two days later I was taken to the ER for all of the following symptoms.Very high heart rate, dizzy, sweaty palms, shaking from being so cold, muscle aches, entire right side of body numbing and the worse stomach indigestion and pain. I have done a full blood panel and have checked for blood cloths but nothing is showing up. I pray this is just a withdraw from this pill. I have been off of it for seven days now but I still feel sick and not back to normal.

Hello. I've been on this pill for 3 years. I have never been on my period at the exact time every month. I bleed in between periods too and as the time has progressed my periods have become shorter and lighter. My last period was in January 5 and I still haven't gotten my period for February 2014. I was scared out of my mind becoming pregnant again so I took several diagnostics and even went to get a UA done at my gyno office and it was negative. I figured it would've been positive if I was already pregnant because it's going on 2 months late. So I have an appt on March 12, 2014 to find out what is happening. I didn't take my pill yesterday and I'm cramping bad but no period yet.

I will be stopping this pill this month due to my age (48) and high blood pressure. How are your periods now? My doctor also suggested progesterone. Did you have any side effects with that?

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.

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 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!!!!!

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.

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 finally got my period on July 6th, and my husband and I are trying for a baby. Fingers crossed!! Good luck ladies, and I hope everything works out for you all. Never realized how bad BC really is for a woman's body.
