When Do I Start Lo Loestrin Fe

I was told to start Lo Loestrin Fe on the first day of my period however, the norm for me is light bleeding (mostly just when urinating and wiping but nothing on a pad) and then nothing for a day or two and then my full on period. Do I start taking it the very first time I start bleeding even though it is so light or wait until the day I have my normal, heavier bleeding?

Hello, Maureen! How are you?

The FDA states that it should be started at the first sign of bleeding.

Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and weight changes.

Is there anything else I can help with?
