I have been taking Loestrin 24 Fe since January 2008 and I just don't know what's going on!!! I started the pills immediately after my cycle went off and came right back on 2 days later!! I had another cycle for 2 weeks! I went to my OBGYN and he said that my body was "adjusting" so don't worry. So in February nothing happened, no cycle, no spotting nothing!!!! I went to my OBGYN again and he said once again my body was "adjusting". In March I spotted a couple days, during the white pills, and had heavy bleeding for one day. I have had sleepless nights, night sweats, mood swings, I haven't gained weight but my stomach is sooooo bloated. I have also had the problem of random spotting during white pills. After reading some of the other post I believe I'm going to back away from them and take the cramps like a woman!

First, don't worry this is common. Many people need a different level of hormone that is going into their bodies. If I were you I would either try a different type of birth control or see if there is a higher dosage. It is common for OBGYN's to say that your body is adjusting but sometime it is more than that. I would go back and ask about trying a different type or a higher dosage. I hope this helps.
