Stopped Lo Loestrin Fe 5 Days Ago- Still No Period (Top voted first)

Updated

I have been taking Lo Loestrin Fe for 4 months now and i have only had 1 peroid and that was in the first month. I have continued having weird reactions so i have chosen to stop the pill. I stopped it on a blue pill 3 days before i switched to the white. It has been 5 days now and still no period. When should I expect to get it? Pregnancy test was neg a week ago. This drug just really seems to have me messed up. Anyone have any helpfull info? Thanx!

I too was on Loestrin for about 3 years after switching from Yaz. I stopped taking it two months ago because me and my husband want to start trying to conceive. I have not had a period in two months, and preg. tests are negative. I too had horrible back aches, nipple soreness, headaches, mood swings, and weird cravings after stopping the pill. I have read up on this pill and from what I have read I will never go back on birth control again!!! It has screwed up my body big time. I never had a real period when on this pill- just spotting and brown stuff, which is not healthy. A doctor told me that some birth control pills thicken the lining of your uterus too much and it makes it hard to shed, and that is why you have lighter periods. But overall I do not believe that is healthy- the pill is stopping a natural process and look at what it has done to us!
I have had to be put on medicine before to make my body have a period- the medicine is an awful 8 day regimen that made me vomit every day. I couldn't finish the 8 days of pills it was so bad. I really hope I don't have to go on that pill again- I am so pissed off that doctors don't tell us stuff like this they just write prescriptions all day!!
I am going to the doctor tomorrow to see what she thinks I should do about this- I would like to wait it out and hope that my body recovers naturally. I hope everyone on here talks to their doctor about their condition to make sure it is nothing serious!

Hello ladies. I started taking lo loestrin in October, I didnt get my period in November so I freaked out and stopped taking them. Its been 3 weeks and still no period, i took 3 pregnancy tests which all came out negative but im still worried as to why I havent gotten my period. How long after you stop taking the pills should you get your period ? Keep in mind Ive only been on the pill for one month.

I stopped around mid september, still no period, and I have weird abdominal pressure in my lower right area. also have slight pain in ovaries on both sides, slight back pain. and nausea sometimes as well. has anyone else felt this pressure? I'm worried it may be something serious.

Did you finally start your period after a month? I've been off for about a month and still haven't started.

Well it has been over 6 months now and still no period. i would not recommend this pill to anyone. It has my body so messed up. Atleast the other side effects like headaches and mood swings stopped soon after i stopped taking it.

I stopped taking it last April, and my period started again in early July. There is time in between with this pill. I've been pretty regular since and even started using ovulation tests. Had four days of positive results :). Good luck ladies. It will all work out.

I'm currently taking my pills but about to end the pack and deciding if I should stop taking them for good, but worried if my acne will return? My face has been clear since I've taken it. I've been on this for 2 years and have had no periods, I don't know what to expect?

I never had any bad side affects when I was on Lo Loestrin Fe. I stopped having a period in the second month of taking it. I got concerned and did research. From what I've found, you won't get a period at all while taking this birth control. I stopped taking it almost 3 weeks ago (want to get pregnant later this year) to get back on a regular cycle before trying to have a baby and I have yet to get my period. I am glad to see I am not the only one, but I will be very concerned if a month goes by and I don't start my period. I will be consulting with my doctor if that happens.

I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 2 1/2 years...with no period ever. I've been off the pill for three months and THERE IS STILL HOPE! I started researching on how to get your period naturally. So I started drinking parsley tea and ginger tea. I was freaking out so much I drank both. But I probably will stick to the ginger, the parsley is strong! (but on the plus side it helps you loose water weight ) so which ever you choose ladies. You can also do some research yourself before you try it. For the ginger tea you need raw ginger, cut about an inch, shave it and boil it for about 5 minutes. Pour and enjoy. Parsley tea, again fresh parsley, wash thoroughly before you use it. I got mine from a farmers market for 44 cents. I have one of those tea steepers, so I just added the parsley (stems and all) and let it steep for about 5-8 minutes. Or you can boil water and then add parsley to your cup, just let it sit before you drink. Both of these teas make your uterus contract. This is not good if your pregnant this is only recommended if your trying to make your period come down. I would drink about four cups everyday. I got my period the first month and have been getting it for the last two months without drinking the tea. I only drank the tea the first month I got off the pill near the time I was expected to get my period. After that I let my body do what it is supposed to do naturally. I also got an app called woman's log. You can log your periods and a whole bunch of stuff..great for women trying the conceive. I wish all of you the best!
