This is my second pack of Loestrin 24, and I am not sure if I like it..Last month was very light spotting, but not a TRUE period, and this month I didn't even get my period. I was on ortho low before, and my period was light as it is. My gyno recommended that I be put on Loestrin, as I was having a lot of stomach problems. NOW, I'm not even getting my period. Should I be worried? Reading everyones posts makes me feel a little better that we are sharing similar symptoms. I am cramping, and I feel like my period should be here, but it's not!

On the one hand, I'm really glad that everyone is experiencing similar side effects as mine. On the other, its kind of alarming, don't you think? This is my first time taking any type of birth control pill and I never got a warning that it would be like this. I'm on the 3rd week of the first pack and on my 12th day of a period- nothing heavy, but very uncomfortable. I start cramping around 9pm and can't sleep unless I take Mortin. And I feel so "BLAH"- no personality or happiness, or even anger. This may be common, but its not right. I'm afraid that if I stop it, the consequences will be worse. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. In july I dont remember really having a period though i would get the cramps and feel like i was starting it. My periods werent as bad to begin with and now their light or barely there at all. I can pretty much just wear pantiliners now.
