how long should I wait?
| Mon, 02-19-2007 - 8:36am |
Ok this is day five of the breakthrough bleeding on loestrin FE. This is week 3 of the 5th month I have been on It. Had btb once before but it only lasted 4 days and then I spotted for one day . The bleeding had completely stopped-- I thought till just a little while ago and low and behold it is back again. Not heavy but like a light period. Should I call my doctor this morning or wait and see if it stops in the next few days? This is getting pretty aggravating!

Hi again robinleigh58,

Levlen could be an improvement over Loestrin because you may "feel" more of the estrogen, which could help keep the bleeding at bay. Levlen also has a stronger progestin than what's in Loestrin, and even though the dose is smaller, it could control things better. Theoretically this progestin is supposed to be pretty good at keeping the endometrium stable.
It's worth a shot! Good luck!
