I was prescribed Loestrin 24 because I wasn't getting my period at all. Ever since I was 15 I would get it once a year at Christmas time and it would be extremely heavy. After I graduated it got a little more frequent but it was still only happen here and there. I've been on it for about 10 months and aside from the breakthrough bleeding for a few days I have had no other side effects. I have headaches but I had those before I ever went on this. My concern after reading these comments is, is my period going to stop all together? I know everyone seems to be happy about that but I'm worried. The whole point of being on it is to actually get it.
