Hi guys! I have been taking Lo loestrin Fe for four months now. I have had a normal period in these months. They usually come 2-3 days early and are light. But this month I did not get a period and I am now 6 days almost seven days late. I have however, had spotting for the last couple of days but only in the morning for an hour and at night for around 30 minutes. I asked my mom about it and she's scared I might be pregnant. I have missed a pill or two and don't take them the same hour every day. It varies. I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else or should I be taking an at home pregnancy test? ## Hello Addy! How are you? Yes, if you've missed a couple of pills, then a pregnancy test would be a good idea. However, changes to your period, such as it just being spo...

Hey guys. So I take both Lo Loestrin Fe and Trileptal for my bipolar-ness. I know that theres an ingrediant in Trileptal that can make the pill less effective, however I take a low dose of it (300 mg). I dont know how effective it is with it being at such a low dosage. Any help would be great. ## HI, Faith! How are you? From what I can find, it doesn't matter what the dose if of the Trileptal, it affects the metabolism of the estrogen hormone in these types of contraceptives, which greatly reduces their effectiveness and means that you are most likely not protected against pregnancy. Learn more Trileptal details here. The recommendation is that you use a non-hormonal form of contraception. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Really I just wanted to know if at least some of...

My period came on Aug 7th and I got started on a new birth control (Lo Loestrin Fe). Since the end of my period I have been having brown vaginal discharge. Its now Aug 30th and I'm still having this discharge. And no, I'm not pregnant. This discharge comes out in spots and sometimes its in clots. It happens daily and it's really embarrassing and annoying. Is this normal? Im still on my first pack and Im really considering to stop taking the pill. My next period is in a few days and I'm afraid about what will happen when It starts. ## I started lo loestrin fe on aug. 5th the last day after my period just like my doctor said. Through out this time I had vaginal discharge various times during the beginning of the weeks. It was brownish and it smelled like old blood. like if...

I am almost done with my first pack on Lo loestrin fe and 2 days ago I started spotting, no big deal. It seems to have gotten heavier and I have cramping (I'm still on the blue pills). Is this normal? I haven't skipped any, maybe I have taken it a 30 mins-2 hours later than I planned but that's it. Since I'm bleeding now and almost done with the pack should I maybe just skip to the white and brown pills and have my period and then start the new pack? I also have a wedding I'm going to on the 30th that I would like to not have my period during. I know that's a lot of questions, but I'm new to this medication! Thanks! ## Hello, Ren! How are you? Yes, that can be normal for the first 3 months, or so, while your body is adjusting to these oral contraceptives. No,...

My period is very regular starts 28 days apart like clockwork. Have a big romantic trip and want it to not start on my trip. So Dr. gave me Lo Loestrin Fe 26 pill pack samples to try. My trip is Nov 11-18 with my period to start on the 15th. My next period is due to start Sept 20. How and when should I take the pills. There is no risk of pregnancy... tubes tied ## You should just be able to skip the last four pills and start a new pack. This should prevent you from having a period that month. At the end of the new pack you'll have you period like normal. I had to do this for my wedding. I just skipped a period so basically I went seven weeks between a period. ## Hi! Im running a marathon on nov 4 and just got loloestrin. I started last night and my last period was aug 30. So will th...

I have a festival to attend so I want to schedule my menstrual cycle asap. I just have week for that. Is that why people take hormonal contraceptives? ## Hi, I have planned a tour on 10/10/14 and my date of menses is 9/10/14. So I want to be finished with my period before the journey. Plz, tell me the name of medicine should I take? I'm 30 yrs female. ## Hello everyone, I'm not familiar with all brands of contraceptives, but the two that I hear about being used most often when it comes to altering the timing of your period are Sprintec and Lo Loestrin Fe. Apparently taking the inactive tablets is what would normally induce your menstrual cycle by causing breakthrough bleeding... So my understanding is if you change the date that you would normally take these particular pills, yo...

I have been on this pill before and stopped because my doctor wanted to try something else. well they put me back on it and after a month and a half I stopped again because I was bleeding every other week and it was not spotting it was a 7 day period. When I did have sex I used a condom as well and always took my pill at the same time everyday well now I am on 2 weeks of no period/withdraw bleeding after stopping the pill on Day 15. I just could not take the anxiety and the non stop period! I read somewhere that it may take 30-60 days from stopping the pill to get my period back to normal but I am just so worried and I don't even know if a pregnancy test would be accurate since I had a period every other week the month of January. Thanks for any advice! (I have a follow up for chang...
