I have been taking Loestrin 24 for almost a year and a half now. ...

how old are you? caz i have some of the same side effects...but i dont really have mood swings as much as on the other pills...but one thing i noticed happenin was havin nightmars bout family and friends, and they scare the shit out of me....do u have this same prob?

I am relieved to see that someone else is going through this too. I have been on it for almost 2 years. The first 3 months, I had a lot of symptoms long non-stop periods, naseau, dizziness, etc... but eventually that went away and I had much longer, consistent periods for the remainder of the time. In June and this month though my periods have barely came at all....I mean just the smallest amount of spotting possible. And for the past few months I have had constant hot flashes/night sweats, anxiety, etc.. Of course I freaked out about being pregnant and I took like 4 tests...all negative. Once again this month, my period is doing the same thing...barely nothing. I called my doctor and they told me it was normal (much like you when they had never told me this before). Its nice not to have a period, but not when it makes you worry so much. Did you decide to switch? If so, what did you switch to? I'm curious to see others who have been on this pill for a long time if their side effects change over time.

I too am having this problem right this minute. I have taken Loestrin for 7 months and they all had been medium to heavy until 2 days ago all I got was this yucky brown discharge and little to no red blood and it's still going on and I'm a bit worried. I took a first response early result test yesterday morning and It was negative. If my period doesn't come by tomorrow I'm going to test again. I took 3 kinds of antibiotics this month because of an sinus infection and a surgery I had done. when I had sex I used a back up method and now I'm worried to tears about being pregnant because my period is all messed up. I hope that my light period is caused by Loestrin or the antibiotics and not pregnancy. thank you for the reassurance though.
