i've been on loestrin 24 for about 7 months or so, and i was wondering if this pill is suppose to make my periods really really light. i know it tends to shorten the amount of days but i have my period for like 4 days but its so light its like theres practically nothing there.


should i be worried??

Lightening and shortening are both possible side effects of loestren. If you are worried about pregnancy, take a test, it's the easiest way to know Smile And once you know, you can peacefully enjoy your light period.

Those pains sound like cramps.

Yes, a light period can be a sign of pregnancy.

Definitely. Depending on when you last had sex, you could test now, if it's been at least 2 weeks I believe.
