No Period Normal For Lo Loestrin Fe?

Updated

Hi. I just took the last brown pill in my second pack of Lo Loestrin Fe. I have not bled at all yet. On the first pack I had bad cramping on the last white pill and then spotted on the first brown. Such light spotting that I only needed a panty liner for 2 days. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about pregnancy? I've never missed a pill and started the first pack when I was supposed to start the new pack of my old birth control, Yasmin. I am switching back. This pill is making me insane with worry.

Gia's answer is correct.

Contraceptives, such as this, contain hormones to prevent ovulation, which prevents pregnancy and changing the amount of hormones in your body can cause you to have a very light menstrual cycle or none at all.

Some women, however, do experience the opposite and have more bleeding or heavier bleeding, while on them, it really just depends on your body.

Are there any other questions?

I'm going on pack # 4 and about to check myself into a mental institution. I have never been more depressed and I cry about everything. I started taking Lo Loestrin to regulate my hormones and lighten my period because my periods were ridiculously heavy. Since I started, my first period was 1 day and I haven't had a period in 3 months!!! I've just been spotting a few times a week. I've taken 5 pregnancy tests and all negative. I'm not complaining about no period. It's wonderful :) BUT, I don't see the point of staying on something when it's making me a miserable b****. It's also making me eat like a cow and gaining weight which makes me more paranoid because I'm not getting my period lol. It's a lose lose situation. My doctor said to wait it out, because my body is still getting used to being on it, but i might just give it one more month. I'm going crazy with these moodswings!
I previously tried LoEstrin 24 for a few months, and got shorter periods with it and even lost 10 pounds and had tons of energy, but it gave me horrible migraines and yeast infections. Everyone reacts differently to each birth control as I am finding out my body handles it differently as well.

Hi, I am truly worried about being pregnant. My last period ended the 22nd of october and its the 21st of novemeber and I still have not started my period. I take the pill every single day, maybe not at the exact same time but I have not forgotten a pill at all. My boyfriend and I had sex but we used a condom then he took it off to cum on my stomach. I started the new pill pack yesterday on sunday and I am really nervous. I guess I will go buy a pregnany test today. Any help?

Hey Beekay, I agree with you.
After several years of using Jolessa birth control pills, I started using Lo Loestrin Fe in December 2011 per my OB GYN recommendation. I finished my 3rd pack about a week ago and have not seen any bleeding or spotting of any kind. This is rare because I used to get a period exeactly at 90 days when using Jolessa. I called my doctor last week and she recommended that I wait another week before starting another pack just to see if I got a period. Today is Saturday and I am going to start my fourth pack, still with no period. I took a pregnancy test three days ago and it was negative. I'm not sure if I like this pill yet. I like the idea of having a period sometimes, just to be sure I am not pregnant.

I just up and quit taking it. I have a history of gastrointestinal problems, lunch problems, ovarian cysts. I also have MDD, and it's made me have suicidal thoughts again. And it's the second night I'm not on it; I know I'm most likely gonna get my period, but 1) I can breathe and 2) maybe my headaches'll go away.

I just don't believe it's safe for me to take it when I'm depressed & lack medication for my mental issues.

Hi.. I am 27 years old. My period cycle is every 30 to 32 days. In june I didn't have my period. It was the first time in my whole life I missed my period. On the 10th of july I took gynaecosid tablets to induce my period and I had brown discharge within two hours of taking the tablet and then my period started after 2 days of brown discharge. In august I didn't have my period again. I went to the doc and she gave me avion tablets to take for 3 days. I then got my period on august 24th. Then I took estronor and had my period on september 24th, but as of this month in october I didn't have my period. What is wrong with my cycle?

Hi. I am 35 years old. I have missed my period for 18 days and I am negative when I take a pregnancy test. Do I need to worry about my monthly period not coming yet? How should I go about getting my period back?
