Lo Loestrin Birth Control Pills
Hi! Does anyone take these pills? Do you get a period on them? I am on my second pack and did not get a period after the 1st one. Took 2 pregnancy tests that were negative(just in case). Just wanted to see what if anyone has had the same thing happen.
.I usually lurk on here but decided to post today!
Re: Lo Loestrin Birth Control Pills
First month I missed same as you.
Second month I got it at the expected time (near end of pack).
The third month I got it mid pack.
The fourth month... we'll see
And then I'm moving to Mirena
I was on LoEstrin 24 for several years before TTC and did really well on it. I had a period every month, although it was pretty light and it only lasted about 2 days. I would usually get it on the 2nd day of placebo and it was extremely light, practically gone, by the 4th day. I'm not sure, but I think it's common not to have a period on LoEstrin and it's not even medically necessary to have a period while on BCP (no ovulation technically = no period).
Looking back, I think the hormones made be a tad b!tchy but unlike a lot of other women, I really like the idea of a pill form of birth control. I also got headaches every month around the time of my period. I'm not sure that I will go back on that pill when the time comes, but it was fine at the time.
