Q: microgestin fe AM cramps

I'm on my 12th day of the generic form of loestrin 24 and my appetite has changed. Every time I'm done eating my stomach aches, and in the mornings I cramp up. I never used to have that. Anybody been thru that? I'm also thinking of taking diuretic pills to get rid of my water weight. I was aiming for the birth control pill that also had a diuretic in it but they didn't have it. has that worked out for anybody?

Also I'm yet to get my first period, but when I do, is it safe to have unprotected sex (even if I am bleeding?) during that time? I know I'm safe when I'm taking my active pills, but my non active pills don't have hormones in them.so I was just wondering if I should just be safe and use condoms during that time

If you are taking a diuretic it is most likely causing a loss in water in your muscles. Your best bet would be to replenish at least some of the water you are losing so you don't hurt your self. Try gatorade to help with the loss in electrolytes as well

Yes, it is safe to have sex during your period week when you're on the pill. Definitely check with your pharmacist or doctor before you take loestrin with a diuretic.
