A drug is usually prescribed by a doctor when its benefits outweigh the risks. The common side effects of Loestrin are mild nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach cramps; breast tenderness or swelling, nipple discharge; vaginal itching or discharge; or changes in your menstrual periods, weight change, decreased sex drive etc.It is not necessary that all women will experience them. If you are anxious discuss it with your gynecologist. Take care and regards!
Hi!
If your girlfriend was my patient, I would recommend a repeat pregnancy test in one week UNLESS she has her normal period. I would then test weekly for up to 4-6 weeks. If she has not resumed her periods by then and isn't pregnant, she should check with her doctor. If she is pregnant, she should also check with her doctor, of course.
It is possible that the pills delayed her ovulation and that is the reason for the delayed period.
I have done some research and have found nothing good about this drug. She has all side effects. She is on day 1 with NO geodon.
I was on lo loestrin fe for about 10 days off and on because I either forgot, or I just couldn't take the side effects any longer. I got my period shortly after of course (2 weeks before it was due) that was last month. The husband and I have had unprotected sex, and I'm 4 days late. But on the first day I took a cheap pregnancy test and it was negative. Is this normal after such a short time on the pill, or should I test again?
I have also gained a good 10-15 pounds since starting the pill up, which I have read is a common side-effect for Loestrin. The effects from the pill have me thinking that I am pregnant, even though everything else states that I am not. Between these effects and my horrible, horrible anxiety, I decided to go off the pill. Initially, the first couple days after stopping in the middle of my pack, I felt better. The swelling in my breasts went down and I had more energy.
Thanks JoyRenee. I just think it's crazy that BCP fails some people even faithful, on-time, pill takers. I was not good at taking Loestrin on time sometimes but I doubled up to make up for missed doses. So far with this pill I've had LOTS OF CRAMPING and POOPING. (TMI) I just hope I don't have crazy side effects like I did with Loestrin 24 (made me feel pregnant EVERY month).
My dog (shepherd/husky mix, 73 pounds, 12 years old) began to have grand mal seizures last week. He had two seizures, one on Sunday and one on Monday, at almost exactly the same time in the evening. After the second seizure, the vet put him on phenobarbital (97 mg/2x per day).
He's been on it for five days now and is still pretty out of it. He is extremely lethargic (sleeps most of the day), has coordination problems, and weakness in his hind end. He walks veeery slowly.
Yasmin was horrible for me! I asked my dr during my last annual about switching...commercials make you curious...and she did not recommend it at all. Make sure you ask if the generic is cryselle (my pack doesn't say). With hormone issues its definately been the best for me. You'll know within the first month or two if it works for you. Good luck!
