i started my period friday (april 27th) after taking medroxyprogesterone to induce my period since i was 4 weeks late. my doctor told me to start taking the birth control pills(loestrin24) on the sunday after my cycle - which was yesterday. so i took the pill last night and now my period is missing in action. my periods usually last between 5-6 days but this was only 4 days. is that normal? i am not too concerned about it i was just curious.

has anyone else takin loestrin24? i am curious to know what the side effects are. i haven't really heard anything bad about it. i mean a 3 day period is good enough for me :)

thanks!

So you're saying that when you took the pill your period stopped?
