With Loestrin this can be common because it's such a high progestin pill.

Ahh I didnt know that. I can deal with light periods but it drives me insane when one dosent come because than I swear that I am pregnant.
I am going to keep taking it for another few months and see what happens.

I'm on Loestrin FE and I go 3 months w/ no period? I've talked to my Dr. about it and she says that the Loestrin FE pill usually does that to women; makes them skip periods. It's because it keeps the walls from collecting build up and if there's nothing to shed then there's no period.
