hello guys,

well i started on loestrin 24 (first pack ever) on sunday ...which was the first day of my period and its now saturday and usually my period has ended by now (before i was on birth control) but i still have my period not very heavy but i def. still have it and usually it would have already been finished. Could it be that everyting is just out of balance since my body is just getting used to this? because im on birthcontrol and i wouldnt expect my period to be longer then it was before i was on birthcontrol..maybe its just because ive only took 6 active pills or what? i dont know ..can someone please share thier thoughts anything would be great thanks!

I am on loestrin too and my period lasted a day or 2 longer also -- but it did stop. I started my pills one week before you.
