I was on Loestrin 24 for two months and hated it. I had bad headaches and it really affected me sexually. I stopped taking it last week and am a week late for my period. I took a test and it says i'm not pregnant, but i don't know why i haven't gotten my period. I didn't restart a new pack this past week since we are trying to get pregnant, but just being off the pills for one week, i feel so much better.
thought it was my loestrin 24 fe but the doc took me off and i still feel funny. have visual tracers most the day and more when i drink alcohol..pressure in temples..jaws..forehead. almost like if i clenched my jaws all day what the muscles would feel like.... problems with looking at patterns.. esp. stripes. and certain colors together. like blue and red. white against any color cause bad tracers. was told i have anxiety? but looking out here to try n see if anyone has had the same problem??
I started Lo Loestrin Fe oral birth control pill on January 14, 2014 after being off of it since Thanksgiving of 2013. Previously I had constant break-though bleeding (more like a period- for even 2 and a half weeks) and cramps. I switched to Microgestin and that made me so sick I stopped, and then restarted Lo Loestrin Fe.
I have taken it everyday and have never missed a pill.
ve had mild period like cramps for over a week, headaches every day and a dull pain in my lower back/pelvis for the last few days. Has anyone had this before? What do you think?
Please someone reply this time, I need to talk to someone who has been in the same situation, asap. Thank you for your time.
Both surgeons told me they do not understand why I have such inflammation per mri and just inject me with steroids. 3 months ago I started on loestrin for perimenopausal sympts that are so severe , including continual sweating , that it was necessary. Since the start of the loestrin , all of my symptoms have been so severe I am missing work . Today my Md. just increased my levothyroxine to 100mcg but did give me the option of the cytomel route. .
I just want to feel better.
I have taken it and wont be much help because because my period was regular though I did have mild headaches.
i was put on the birthcontrol called loestrin. ive been on loestrin for a little over 6 months now and all of a sudden one day i couldnt have sex anymore because it hurt so much. as time passed this pain went away but now as of today just him inserting it for one second and then all of a sudden ever since it has hurt to pee.why is this?
Hi there. The various causes of headaches could be migraines or tension headaches, sinus headaches radiating to the ear, headache usually front of head, on one or both the sides of temples along with nausea, vomiting, irritability, low blood pressure, sensitivity to lights, sound, etc. aura associated with migraines could include blind spots, blindness in half of your visual field, paresthesia, weakness or visual hallucinations. Your vision needs detailed testing by an ophthalmologist.
I was taking Loestrin Fe and had alot of spotting the first month (not necessarily while having sex). I also had more spotting in the third month. I told my doctor & she said that the hormones were too low for me. I would let your doctor know and see if there might be a better one out there for you.
I switched from Loestrin to Ortho because I started not having periods AT ALL on the Loestrin and I had CRAZY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS. I got a blood test but it was negative. Now I am on Ortho and am a little nervous because I've heard and read that some people have gotten pregnant on this pill. Any advice????
I find myself getting up either during the night or very early morning needing to urinate and I have been finding myself getting dizzy occasionally and having headaches. Before I started my period, I experienced normal mood changes, tender breasts, and cramping. That has all gone away since I finished my period, except some occasional cramping after I eat a meal. Could I be pregnant?
Hi! Loestrin is a very low dose pill, and sometimes after you have been on it for awhile, the lining of the uterus gets very thin and bleeding becomes irregular.
OR this could be a one time only thing, especially if you missed a pill or took one late.
I would tell my patient to wait and see and if it happens regularly, you may need to swtich pills for awhile.
Good Luck!
Hi there. I have recently started taking Lo loestrin Fe for my birth control for almost 2 months now and have been having almost continuous bleeding. That was the only problem until about two weeks ago. Now I'm having serious bloating, headaches, fatigue, cramping, mood swings, and crazy heartburn even when I don't eat anything. This was the exact string of symptoms when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I took a test but it came out negative.
) and if you took the test to early you could get a false neg. in fact a lot of women have that happen. I've had that happen. If you still don't get it in a couple days I would test again or get a blood test done.
I have also been a little crampy and nauseous. Today, especially, I woke up and was dry heaving. I have not noticed any unusual fatigue or headaches.
Could I possibly be pregnant or is it too soon to tell? I have been pregnant before...but I don't remember the fatigue or nausea setting in until I was about 8 weeks pregnant. I am currently on birth control (loestrin 24) but I have been taking this pill for months and have not had these kind of symptoms with it before.
I've personally never heard of breakthrough bleeding meaning that you aren't protected... You are probably thinking that because sometimes breakthrough bleeding is caused by missing pills or not taking them on time. I used to have really bad breakthrough bleeding issues before my laparoscopy to remove endometriosis, and it would happen with every pill, but I remember I had a lot of it when I was on loestrin for some reason.
I have been on Loestrin for nearly a year now. I take it continuously so I do not get a period. This has stopped the endo pain. I'm hoping that it is also preserving my fertility until we are ready to try again.
I do like Loestrin. I have had major depression and I feel fine on L. Sorry though no experience with Yaz. I think L is worth a try. It's different for everyone so you will only know by trying.
