I have been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 13 months. I always get a light period on the second day of my inactive pills. This month I got light spotting a few days before I was due to start my period and light spotting on the last day of my inactive pills that I originally thought was my period but was just spotting. I have never missed a pill. This month me and my BF had unprotected intercourse a couple of times. This is normal and usually my period is right on time. I am freaking out. Could I be pregnant? This has never happened. I have been very very consistent in taking the pills though and always take them precisely at 9 pm and he never finishes inside me.

I've been on lo Loestrin Fe for over a week now. I have Essure coils for permanent birth control so have no worries in that dept. they have been in for over 10 yrs. my doctor prescribed these pills for my cycle deciding to go a little off. She wants me to take it every day and not skip. Seems to give my sex drive a boost. Which my husband likes. So hopefully I won't have the problems these other women are having.

I have been on Lo Loestrin since January. Every pack I start, I have light bleeding. Whenever I have my "period" at the end of the month, it's really light, almost like I don't even have a period at all. This past month I completely skipped my period. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I'm extremely bloated and I feel like I'm gaining weight because I haven't had my period. From what I have read, it seems that skipping periods is a regular thing when taking this pill. But it's been making me really moody. My boyfriend and I do not use condoms and we've never had a scare. I take my birth control around the same time every morning. Overall, I'm really unhappy with this pill. I don't like these side effects. It keeps me on edge because I feel like I have to take a pregnancy test every month to make myself feel better. I'm planning on switching back to my old birth control.

I've also had several of the same symptoms these last few months. I'm considering quitting lo loestrin fe and possibly taking something else. I think I'd just rather have a period then have the mood swings I have and to have my sex drive back.

I've been taking lo loestrin fe for at least 6 months. I went from having a full on period to having barely any bleeding in the past 2-3 months. I fine with not having. Period but I've been very moody and emotional since then. I fear that this is due to not having a period. I feel like I'm PMS'ING all the time now. And no it's not due to pregnancy that I know of.

I have been on the pill for about 2 years and have had only 1 or 2 periods over the 2 years. I just went to see my doctor and told her about this. She said that with this pill it is a very common side effect and that it eliminates periods for a lot of women. She assured me that everyting is just fine. It it bothers you to not have a period then just switch to another pill.

I changed the time I took my pill from 1pm to 7pm at the start of a new pack, and i feel like I started experiencing some symptoms like bloating and stomach discomfort that had seemed to taper off before I switched the time. Has anyone else tried switching the time a few hours from what it was? Any side effects?

I'm just starting lo Loestrin Fe not for birth control but to ease early signs of "the change". Anyone else on it for the same?

Gymgrrl- yes after about 7months of no period I finally got a period on the active pills and I bled for 3 wks straight.(by that time I have had enough considering no period for months) but not worried anymore. If your body needs to release, it will when it's ready!

I have been on this pill for for 5 months now and NO period. I was on YAZ before and would get my period consistently every month but I must say its wonderful not getting a period. I took two pregnancy tests and both negative. My moods are better. Only downfall id acne. I have been breaking out more than usual. Its a mild sacrifice for not bleeding every month:D

Shirley - are you still taking the active pills AND getting your period after several months of NOT having it? I haven't had my period since December when I started this pill (LoLoestrin FE) and I don't get a period on the placebos, however, last week, about4 days before I should have my period, I had some bleeding but it only lasted an hour or so then nothing until now...I'm on day three of my 5th pack and I have bleeding and cramping today....so strange.

Seems like right after I posted about NOT having a period for 4 months, I'm starting to breakthrough bleed and get cramps again. Is it common to go without a period for a few months and then it just comes even when you're taking the pill each day correctly? This is getting VERY frustrating...

I've noticed my hands and feet also falling asleep fast too, but I didn't think anything of it until you mentioned it. I'm going to talk to my doctor about it next week.

Hi, I'm now on my sixth month of lo loestrin and things seem to be getting better. For the past 2-3 months or so, I had times where I would be extremely bloated, have bouts of depression and anxiety randomly and constipation/gastrointestinal issues. Those all seem to have gotten way better, i no longer get bloated like that anymore and my mood has been fine. Unfortunately I have experienced a bit of a lack of sex drive and decreased wetness/sensitivity during intercourse. What's really scaring me right now is that my feet and hands seem to randomly be going asleep when I haven't been keeping them in a position for too long that would normally cause limbs to go to sleep. Has this happened to anyone? I'm pretty concerned.
I also have not had a period for the last few months but I see that this is normal and nothing to worry about

I'm 43 years old and started using LoLoestrin FE last December after trying several brands of birth control to regulate a suddenly (after 20 years on Demulin 1/35) irregular/heavy/painful period. Up until today, I haven't had a period at all since starting LoLoestrin FE (except the first week or so with typical light spotting/brownish discharge). Today, I felt crampy and bloated and unfortunately had breakthrough bleeding and I still have 3 active pills in my current pack to go. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen. Now, it eases my mind in that I can't be pregnant if there's breakthrough bleeding, since not getting a regular period is a little unsettling, but nonetheless it's pretty great NOT having a period.

What are the two brown pills for and is it necessary to take them?

this is exactly how I feel!!! I'm really worried because the reason I'm even on the pull is because I had a really bad pregnancy scare. I'm currently 5 days late and I'm feeling exactly as you've described. I'm worried I might be pregnant... But idk if it's just the pill...
