Hello, Kathy! How are you?

Those can be normal side effects of this medication, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability. It is usually nothing to worry about, unless your doctor sees a reason to be concerned.

Some women stop having periods, entirely, while taking oral contraceptives.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I was in loestrin 24 starting in October 2011 until the switch had to be made to minastrin and have been taking that ever since. Many times I have very light periods where no tampon is needed ever and I wear a panty liner and that honestly barely has much on it. I would only change it to feel fresher if that makes sense. I have always had some whitish yellow discharge, but last month I would say I have had whitish discharge that is either watery or like lotion paste like. After having "assaulted", I bleed during intercourse and cried. The next day I was super sore, and had bad abdominal pain. That was in the middle of July. I never missed a pill. Sometimes there was two or three hours tops between the alarm on my phone and when I took it or I would take it before I went asleep. Since that incident I have had lower abdominal pains in and off and have felt kinda bloated. I haven't gained weight. I have been constipated and have to take laxatives if I want to go number two. I was rear ended and totaled my car by someone. That night my back was sore but then couple days later my back and hips have had random mild pains especially if I sit too long. That was about two weeks ago. Now it's the middle of October. I still have on and off abdominal pains mainly my lower left sidebar right under my belly button not often is it on my right, I still have the random pains In my back and hips since the accident, discharge isn't as much as it was. Over the passed three months almost I have taken 11 pregnancy evaluations. All have been negative. I have taken at all hours of the day as well. I am about a week from my placebo pills on minastin and don't know if it's normal to have sore well kinda sore boobs but it doesn't hurt to touch really and I have been boxing. Could I just been overthinking and stressing? Ibs? I have a gi doctor appointment in two weeks.
