any loestrin users out there?
| Mon, 02-16-2004 - 3:27pm |
my doc prescribed Loestrin 1/20, to try to see if it helps with my on-going breakthrough bleeding. I have only been on higher Estrogen pills-yasmin now, but before nordette, triphasal, OTC.
Just wondering if anyone is using Loestrin and what your thoughts are on it.
Also, since I am using a lower-estrogren pill, if i miss a pill, do i have to be more worried about PG vs. using a higher-estrogen pill and missing a pill?
I don't normally miss pills anyway, but i read somewhere that if you are on a lower hormone pill and you miss them, you are more at risk.
just wonderin'!

All around I think this is an awesome pill, for me at least-not all pills are great for every woman out there. The only side effects I have noticed are more headaches (not severe), and slight weight gain, yet you may be lucky enough to not have either.

I took Loestrin 1.5/30 for four years.
thanks for your answer!
i have a question tho, you mentioned atrophic vaginitis. Is this something specific to Loestrin, or is it possible with any pill or ??
I posted here before about my problem, btb, and said i was on triphasil, OTC, and Nordette with all the same problems. I thought a lower estrogen pill might help, although my doc didn't really think so, she prescribed loestrin 1/20 anyway because right now i am taking Yasmin and it costs me twice as much as the loestrin generic will cost. I told her just give me any pill that has a generic, so she said i could try a lower estrogen one then.

It sounds like you might be headed in the right direction!
