Odd period cycle on Loestrin 20 Posted: 10-24-07 07:42am
hi im 25 and currently taking loestrin 20
and have been for about a year, its the
only pill that seems to work as others
that i have taken have given me migranes
so this was recommended as i think it was
not as strong or something. anyway, for
the last few months i have exacaly on the
second week of taking the pill began my
period even though i still have a further
week or so to go i then finish for a week
and once again have a period i dont
understand why im having two periods as i
could understand if it was a new pill or
if i was taking it incorrectly but i know
im not and also i have been taking it
around a year and by now it should all be
settled. i do at times only have one
period which is when im still taking the
pill.

I have had that problem too! At first they
just switched my to a different BC but it
got worse. So he took blood to test my
hormone levels and stuff, then had an
ultra sound to make sure the endometreo
(sp?) and ovaries looked good. Everything
looked good but we are still waiting for
the test to come back. He thinks we just
need to try another BC, once my tests are
back he can determine which one. I'll let
you know what happens. I would say call
your dr and let them know what is going
on. I totally understand I have migrains
also that no matter what BC I'm on I have
troubles, but I have learned to deal with
them I've had them since like middle
school. I hope you are doing better!

Yeah I'd check in with your gyno. That
happened to me when I first started
loestrin but it went away.

Got my tests back everything seems normal
so they are switching me to a different
kind to see what happens. So not much else
I can tell you! Sorry! Try calling the Dr
you never know it could be an easy fix!
