I am almost through my first pack of Loestrin 24 Fe and so far no...

I've been taking this pill since August 2007 and I haven't had any problems at all. I was scared to change pills since I been on one pill for25 years but this one has worked out fine for me. I guess it affects everybody differently. Good luck.

I started it 2 weeks ago and I have the same spotting problem. The cramps have also started and I feel like I've been on my period for 2 weeks ( very lightly of course). I had stopped taking a pill during the last year.. so it may be an effect of the 1st month only. Not sure about that. It could be that the pill is not adapted as well. I'll wait a few days more and contact my Gynecologist if needed...

i know exactly how u feel i just had a baby 2 months ago.... so i've been on this pill about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks and this is the pill my ob suggested for me i felt like I've done nothing but bleed the whole time.... spotting everyday... I even get soo nauseated that i HAVE to lay down.... my dr said that its normal for the first 3 months on any pill to have these side effects but I really hope they go away i sometimes its so heavy i think i have my period but then later in the day it goes away.... it's very annoying...but the dr says its normal so i dont know

Well I understand how all of you feel. I started the same pill about a month and a half ago and I've been bleeding since Memorial Day. I was really bothered because I take the pill to regulate my period but now it's as if my period is way out of control. The worst part is somtimes it does stop, but will begin back like 3-4 hours later. They also told me that once I began the pill my period would be very light and short, well it has been very heavy and short, well... After the first 5 or 6 days of bleeding I called my doctor and they just kept telling me it's normal your body has to get used to the pill. They told me that it's a result of the pill trying to train my body as to when my period should come. However I don't understand how that is possible because I'm not even down the brown iron pills yet! But I guess the doctor know's best. I'll give it a couple of more days before I get a second opinion or go to the ER, I know by now my body has no iron and honestly it's causing me to be very tired all the time.
