I am 37 years old and have been on Loestrin 24 for 3 months. I had some spotting right before my real period was supposed to start for the first two months, but fairly normal periods. I am now at the end of my third month and still waiting for my period. I freaked out as I am NEVER late and thought I was pregnant. I took a pregnancy test that was negative, but am still waiting for my period. After reading all these posts though, I think perhaps it's the pill and not me. This month I had weird nausea and stomach issues. One other woman posted the same - gurgling and pain on the left side - me too! Even though I still feel sort of queasy, I am ravenous this week and craving the oddest foods. I haven't had too many emotional side effects though. In fact, this one is probably the best for me thus far. My OB/GYN has been switching me all around to try to get the right balance. I'm less crazy on this one, but not having my period is too strange. Not sure what to do.

I just started Karvia, i was on it about 4 years ago until i started trying to get pregnant. so far just some moodines but i can tell already it is not as strong a pill as loestrin is
