Period question?

Anyone ever skip a period when changing from one brand of oral birth control to another.  Switched from Yasmin to Loestrin but prior always got my period regularly with Yasmin.  I am not pregnant just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else?

Re: Period question?

  • When did you switch? in the middle of your cycle? at the end of the pills? before the sugar pills?

     

  • I completed the last Yasmin waited a week(placebo) and started the Loestrin. 
  • I think usually it can change your period by a couple days or can lessen the bleeding, I've never heard of it stopping altogether but I'd assume that if it can lessen the bleeding to a point where you're just spotting it's likely that it could skip it altogether.

    I'd probably want to call the doctor office to just double check though.

  • yeah I'm gonna call thanks for the info.
  • I don't know about switching, but for what it is worth I used Loestrin for four years and would occasionally skip a period (every 3-4 months).
