Q: loestrin 24 missed period
asked by: yayitsme22 on March 2nd, 2008

i started taking loestrin 24 on january 27 2 days after my period had started. the pamphlet says to wait 7 days before having unprotected sex. i waited 17 to be more safe. i took the pills as directed and never missed a day. on the sugar pills i missed the last one becasue i have no clue where i put them. i had to switch birth control because of insurance and i couldnt get it until a few days after i was done with my pills becasue my doctor was not in the office for a few days. i have not had sex since i have been off the pill. i was wondering when will i be getting my period. will my body be thrown off becasue i was on b.c for a month then stopped? and im worried that i may be pregnant jsut because i havnt gotten my period yet even though im feeling cramps like i do when i get my period.

Your period is thrown off because you went on the pill, then went off.

Many women on the '24' day pills like Loestrin 24 and YAZ will skip periods, or have spotty scanty bleeding. This is because the period week is shortened so much that your body may not have time to register a hormone drop for a period.

took pils early
I mis-understood my doctor and took my pills the sunday before my period started a few days later. Is it possible for me to be pregnant?

I hadn' been on the pill in three years, I had an iud. I also had to take an antibiotic this month... freaking out a tad...
