Loestrin 24 FE
Anyone on it?
Do you like it?
Any side effects...issues?
Negative and positive please.
I'm going to have to go on BC due to my menstrual cycles and being anemic and this was the my gyn recommended.
Thanks.

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
I just started it this week. So far it's fine but I'm wondering how good it is too.
My other pill you stop on a Saturday and get AF on tue/wed. this one stops on Tuesday so I'm wondering when I'm going to get AF. I'll just wait and see.

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
I was on it for 6 months and was spotting and bleeding more often than not. I switched to Femcon and still had the same problem, so I guess it is just me.

I had the same issues and went back to Loestrin. It seemed like I had my period for 3 months straight.

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
I took it for a while. I liked that it had shorter periods aand it really helped with my cramps. The only reason I stopped taking it, was that sometimes I just didn't get my period at all. The dr said that its normal to have light to no period at all, but I would go crazy every month thinking I was pregnant. It was making me nuts. I went through so many pregnancy tests!

ditto! other than the lack of period every few months, i had no issues with it.

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
I was on it for 2-months and hated it. I was a moody beotch, I mean I could not even stand to be around myself - LOL. I had break through bleeding also.
It just did not work for me, but a few girls I know are on it and love it.

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
i've been on it since September and I have a lot of Break through bleeding. It is a low dose of hormones. I don't want to go any higher so I am sticking with the bleeding.

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
i've been on Loestrin 24 FE for over a year now and I love it! My periods are usually 2-3 days, and I get them on Friday and start the white pills again on Monday. No weird side effects, no spotting or anything, and i never missed a period. I guess everyone reacts to it differently.

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
I just asked my doc to take me off it. Bad PMS (cramps that went down my legs); and my period came much later (when on 21 day packs I got AF on Tues-Wed done by Fri...on Loestrin-got AF on Thurs-Fri had it till Mon-Tues...UGH) Never noticed any lighter periods and I was on it almost a year. I'm on (generic) Estropstep now. So far so good! Hope that helps!

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
This pill was ok except that I NEVER got my period. I was on it for 9 months and got my period once, for a few hours. I thought I was pregnant every single month. My doctor couldn't understand why I didn't like not getting my period. I told him it was too expensive! I bought at least 4 HPT's per month. I finally switched to Yaz. This one is ok, too. No bad side effects.

my gyn said because i need it due to anemia its health issue so my ins should cover it.
sorry read that too fast you mean the pregnncy tests were costing you a fortune

Re: Loestrin 24 FE
I was on it for alittle over a year...and I loved it. No spotting...very light periods, like a day or two at most...some months I wouldn't even get my period.
It was by far my favorite pill I was on.
