Lo Estrin 24 FE
| Sat, 12-16-2006 - 9:22am |
I just started taking Lo Estrin 24 FE 4 weeks ago. I'm on my 4th FE pill and I still haven't started my period. Has anyone else skipped periods on this pill? I'm supposed to start another pack of pills tomorrow but I haven't gotten my period yet. I switched from Ortho Evra (patch) and this was my first month on Lo Estrin. Any advice will help!! Thanks.

If this is your first cycle on the pill, sometimes this does happen.
I am pretty satisfied with this pill. Actually, I'm spotting a little at the moment which is annoying. It's less than last time but I think my body is still sorting things out. I was on Yaz for about 3 months before I started Loestrin. I liked Yaz, but it gave me leg cramps and my breasts were really swollen and painful. With Loestrin, I don't have the breast tenderness, and I pretty much feel the same as always. My periods will just be really short I think!
By the way, I had a really long period when I started Yaz. I'd never been on the pill before that, so I guess it's a normal reaction for your body the first month or so regardless of what pill you're on. It went away after that month. I'm sure you'll adapt before much longer. Good luck!
