First let me say that I am glad that this just isn't in my mind! I thought that I was going crazy!!
My doctor put me on Loestrin 24 at the end of last month after I had a miscarriage. Since I have been on this pill, I have noticed my mood swings and I am more emotional. I noticed the vaginal dryness and my lack of interest in sex. I was on Yasmin for about a year prior to this...missed a few days and got pregnant. But I never experienced any of this side effects before. I don't see my doctor again until May, but I am definitely going to ask about changing my pills. He told me to take this pill two months straight without a break in between. I am now having my period and it is slightly brown. I am afraid of infection or something....this is really starting to freak me out...

I been on Loestrin24Fe for awhile now. I'm 17 years old and went on it because of severe emotions 2 weeks before every period and painful cramps. When I first started the pill I had my period then got it again the next week! I didn't know if that was normal but I talked to my doctor and she said it was. Then the next month it went away and my periods were really light. However, my periods have been getting lighter and lighter throughout the months. And this month I haven't gotten mine at all. I got all the regular things when I'm on my period like slight cramps, being a little emotional, and tired. After reading some of the other posts it seems a lot of girls have not gotten there's either. Which made me feel a little better. But is it normal to not get your period? It's kind of freaking me out. Me and my boyfriend are always safe. Well, the pill has defiantly changed my life in a good way though. I used to be so emotional that I would freak out about the littlest things and couldn't even stop myself. After being on it I can actually think straight and live my life.

Okay so I really need advice.
I'm taking a test tomorrow because I've been feeling HORRIBLE the past month. I'm SUPER nauseated, sort of having stomach pains, and always hungry..but it's a weird hunger.. the type where you feel kind of full but like you're really hungry all at the same time. I'm on my 2nd pack now and was on Yaz for 8 months before I started Loestrin. Is it bad that I've been sexually active w/o a condom but using the "pull out" method? I'm supposed to start tomorrow..haven't had cramps or anything so far. But I don't want to freak myself out so bad that I miss my period, so I guess that's another reason why I'm taking a test tomorrow.

I'm concerned that shorter period means no period. Has anyone been experiencing "missed" periods instead of shorter, lighter periods instead since taking Loestrin 24 Fe? I haven't had a period since I started taking the Loestrin 24 Fe, but I am not pregnant and my Dr. says it's normal. Has anyone else heard it's normal?

Hey all! I've been on Loestrin 24 for an entire month (just finished my pack today) and things have been smooth. No tender breasts, no weight gain, no depression, nothing! ***EXCEPT I still haven't got my period! I'm almost completely positive I'm not pregnant.. my boyfriend and I are extremely careful. What's weird is that I keep expecting to get my period because I'm getting the usual signs I get right before my period..
**Has anyone else experienced no period on this birth control???
