i posted a discussion a few days about about my missing in action period after taking loestrin24 for the first time. well, i have been taking it since sunday night and monday period was gone. well, now i am spotting..and it is VERY annoying! i never know when it's coming or going and i am constantly in the bathroom checking it out.

how long will this spotting go on? my periods usually last a 5-6 days and i started last friday..like i mentioned in the last post..so i should be done, it's wednesday.

i know there is spotting alot with taking the pill, but it is just annoying and i was wondering how long this should last?

thank you :)

It takes most women about 3 cycles to adjust to a new hormonal birth control. Hold out til then before deciding if it's going to keep happening. The 4th month is usually better for you.

I am in the same boat. I am on month 2 of Loestrin24 and have been spotting since the first week of pills. Granted, it is very light, but annoying. The first month I only spotted for the last six pills. I am really hoping this straightens up by next month, I have two beach vacations planned!!!
