Birth control question

Crequito · July 2013

My doc put me on Loestrin Fe at my 6 week appt. When I started taking it I hadn't yet gotten my first post-pregnancy period but in the middle of the first pack I had a few days of spotting. Since then nothing. I just finished the 2nd pack. Anyone else on the pill and not getting a period? I really don't want to get pregnant for a few years but I'm leery of the IUD.

I was on this before getting pregnant and after [now]. I didn't and still don't get periods. I asked about it and they said since its such a low hormone pill, your body really isn't doing anything and can possible not get a period.

I bought a bunch of cheap pregnancy tests online and took one every few weeks.

ETA I also do not want an IUD. I'm not comfortable with the idea and I have heard of too many bad experiences. I know anyone can have a bad experience with anything but when they hit close to home, I don't want to venture there!

I never got a period on Lo Estrin FE

If you're breast feeding, that may be affecting your period as well. With DD1, I was on the LO Estrin pill and breast feeding and didn't get a period until she was 11 months. DD2 is 4 months and again I'm breast feeding and on LO Estrin and no period yet.

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'll probably still take a test every now and then to ease my mind.
