Lomedia 24 Fe

Hello guys I started taking lomedia 24 fe three months ago. I switched from minastrin. I switched because I couldn't afford the minastrin and the Dr said lomedia was the same thing. Since switching I have had 3 panic attacks I cry over every little thing I cramp horribly when I am bleeding. It's to the point of just laying in bed crying and not doing anything. I have bled most of this month. I had a reg period for 7 days except it was heavier than usual. Then a couple days after getting off I went to the bathroom and wipped there was a bunch of big blood clots but I hadn't been bleeding. Ever since that day I will randomly bleed heavily as if I'm on my period or sometimes worse and then a few hrs later ill stop bleeding and the cycle has continued for about two weeks now...

Hi guys! I started take Lomedia 24 FE almost a year ago now. At first it was great, no periods at all and really seemed to work with little side effects. Now my life has become very hectic and my consistency with being on time taking it has altered. I have to be honest there are some days I forget and have to take it in the morning instead of my scheduled 10:30 pm time or maybe just forget all together. I know this is horrible. Although now I still get no periods so clearly it is still taking some effect on my body. I am so moody just crying and sad for no reason and so hungry ALL the time. I can't get my bloating to go away either. I'm extremely lethargic, to sleeping being the only thing I want to do. Is this all because not being regular about taking it? Shouldn't my peri...

I am one of the customers unhappy with the discontinuation of Loestrin 24 Fe. I saw so many negative reviews with those who switched to Minastrin that I refused to take it despite what my nurse was trying to say. I researched and knew a generic was coming. I have waited since October of last year for Lomedia and picked up my prescription and pills 3 weeks ago. I still haven't taken them because I'd like to know about the experience on these pills. Has anyone taken Lomedia? Please share your experience so we can all be informed. ## Hello, Kimmie! How are you? From what I can find, there is no difference better the Lomedia and LoEstrin FE, the active ingredients and the dosages are the same. The FDA has approved it as a generic equivalent, so you shouldn't have any problems wi...

I've been taking lomedia 24 for a few months and I always get my period on the third week of the active pills. I don't understand why I'm still getting periods while I'm taking active pills. Also, Is the entire last week (3whites and 4 brown pills) placebo pills? Because I think since I got my period now, I might as well start a new pack on Sunday and skip the last week since I've already gotten my period, right? Can I just take them pack to pack (first 21 pills then start a new pack) and never get a period? Because I would love thattttt! I just really need advice. ## Hello, Tawanda! How are you? Irregular bleeding can be a normal side effect of hormonal contraceptives according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and PMS-like symptom...

I've been on lomedia 24 fe for 4 months now,I just finished the first week of my white pills in my 4th pill pack. I had my period 10 days ago for one and a half days while I was on the second day of the brown pills. The past couple of days my breasts have been really sore. Is this a normal effect of the birth control? I highly doubt its a pregnancy thing because I take my pills at 11:30 pm every night,I never have missed a pill. Just a wondering if it's normal for me to have sore breasts even though I've been on this pill for a good 3 months and 7 days. Oh and I also have irregular bleeding from time to time. Advice?? ## Hello, Kat234! How are you? I'm sorry about the issue that you're having. But yes, those are listed as possible side effects of oral contraceptives ...

I had sex yesterday. My partner never finished in me so we did use the withdrawal method. I'm on lo media 24 fe birth control an I completed my first pill pack and just started my second pill pack a couple days ago. Each pack has 28 pills. 24 active hormonal pills and 4 placebo pills. I haven't had a period this month but my doctor said that's normal that I may have an irregular or no period the first couple of months,being as I just completed my first pack. I took my 3rd pill in the second pack yesterday (Friday) an I take my 4th pill today (Saturday). Should I be protected against pregnancy?? Since I've been on the pill for 31 days? should i be as protected since i just started my second pill pack. im new to all of this so some reassuring answers would be great.

Well I started taking lomedia 24 fe on June 1st and I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. But I haven't started my period and I am already 4 days late. Plus I am irregular so I don't know if that's normal or not
