I just started Loestrin 24Fe on January
5th on the first day of my regular cycle.
My period lasted it's normal length.
However on Friday evening through today, I
have been having light bleeding. It
stopped for a few hours on Saturday but
it's back again today. Is this just a
side effect of starting the pill or is
this something that I need to call my
doctor about?

Yes, that is a side effect of starting the
pill. It can last for 1-2 months until
your body is adjusted to the hormone
levels.

How long could this breakthrough bleeding
last? I realize it could happen for the
first few packs of pills? But I'm still
bleeding and it's not real heavy (heavier
during the day than in the evening) and
just more of a nuisance than anything.

It could last for 2-3 months... The whole
time or part of the time. It could come
and go. There's no more concrete way of
saying it.
