Q: the Pill That Gives You Three Day Periods

Has anyone seen the commercial or heard of this type of birth control pill that by the 3rd or 6th cycle, shortens your period length so that it only lasts 3 days. I believe it started with an "l". Responses would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it was 'loestrin fe 24'..Because you take 24 active pills then 4 placebos!

Loestrin fe has been available for years, but now the shorter periods certainly do make some women happy!

Yaz which is the same ingredients as yasmin, but in a lower dose, also has a shorter period week!
