Anyone ever taken the BCP Lo Loestrin Fe?
If so did you have periods while you were on it? It only has two days of inactive pills so I'm curious. So far I have not but I just completed the first pill pack.
My big boy is bounding towards 3! Hoping to add a sibling.
Hipster dog is not impressed.

Re: Anyone ever taken the BCP Lo Loestrin Fe?
She's asking about Lo Lo Estrin which is different than Lo Estrin 24 with Fe.
The drug rep says that most women on Lo Lo don't have periods.
I'm taking it. I just started though. I'm still on my 1st pack, so I can't really answer your question from experience but my OB told me I probably wouldn't have much of a period.
HOWEVER, I was like 6 hours late taking the pill one day in week 2 and had my period for like 4 hours. It was so weird. Called the doctor's office and nurse said "unless you're hemorrhaging where you have to change a pad every 30 minutes, it's fine." So, just as an FYI!
I had the same thing happen in the middle of my first pack, spotting I mean. I just started my second pack yesterday. I don't recall the Dr. mentioning anything about periods and I didn't think to ask. Then I was confused because it has two days of no hormones, what is the point of that? Why not just take it continually like some of the other brands?
To the PP re: skin and bloating, so far (and I say that with great trepidation because I tend to have to eat my words on this subject) my skin is looking GREAT on this BCP. I feel fat and bloated but I think that's because I AM fat and bloated when I don't work out, which I haven't been.
