My Lo Loestrin Fe Story

Updated

hello all ! so im on my second pill on my 4th month of lo loestrin fe. first month was awesome. my period came on time w no cramps & it was very lite. months 2 & 3 i had some lite breakthrough bleeding, but nothing serious. my period was one brown dot & i was confused & not sure if i should be worried. although i never missed a pill. now my period wa very dark brown & i had spotting 2 days after my period. idk if my body is still getting used to it or what ? i have migrains before my period, but only on the 3rd month. which is normal for me bc i get them before my period.. even when i wasnt on bc. although i do get nauseaous often which is also common for the pill. hopefully after this month everything will even out.

Yes, it was probably because your body was still adjusting to them, since that would've been your third month and it usually takes about that long for your body to get used to the hormones in the tablets.

As to the nausea, try making sure that you don't take them on an empty stomach and that may help a little.

hello, thank you for responding. heres an update. last month i took all my pills as directed, on a few days i took some pills maybe an hour late. but never compleatly missed a pill. i never got my period, i waited a few days than took a test & it was negative. 2 weeks later i took another test & it was still negative. so im not pregnant. this month i took every pill on time & didnt miss one, i was supposed to get my period today on the 15 & hasnt come yet. im nervious now so ill be calling my dr to make an appointment asap. do you have any insight or advice on why this is happening ? a hasty response would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Hi, So ya.... Im on my 3rd month of loloestrin, and the i only had a "real period" the first month. I read somewhere on the internet that this pill prevents the need for having a period?? Im not sure how true that is, but if you go to the doctor plz do reply me back and let me know what they say. I was taking loestrin before this-and i had to quit because of the side effects.. this lower does is better as far as the side effects are concerned, but im not getting regular periods either.. i wonder if that is somthing to be concerned about..

My doctor has told me that that Lo Loestrin would stop me from having a period. I am on my 4th month of it and have not had a period since I started it. The past few days I have experienced really bad cramping which is why I searched this out, but I have not had a period while on this pill.

I just started my fourth month of lo loestrin fe and for the past month I've been constantly nauseas/bloated, sometimes more than others, and randomly getting slight cramps. I've been pregnant before and the symptoms are pretty similar, but not as extreme as before. It's too the point where I've been taking a test a week and even though they've all negative, it just stressed me out more since the symptoms haven't stopped. Has anyone had these symptoms?

I am on my third month of Lo Loestrin Fe and I started to bleed on my second week of the pack and I have not stopped, it has been a week now. Is this normal? It started out as brown spotting and has had some red/pink blood sometimes. I don't start my period for another week, so I have been worrying. Could this be pregnancy?--I don't think so. But, I have never had this in the other two packs. Could it be that my body is still getting used to the hormones that are in the pill?

I am having the exact same symptoms and all my pregnancy tests have also come back negative. I called my doctor and she just attributed it as normal side effects but I'm not too sure. Did you end up being pregnant?
