Anyone know about Loestrin24?

I know many of us are not on BCP, but I am and this pill has really been wacking out my system.

The first month I started it when I got my period and pretty much bled/spotted the ENTIRE month!  Then this last cycle, I got my AF on cd19.  I was still on the active pills and didn't start the placebo for another week or so.  So, I bled from CD19 to the end of the placebo.

I started another pack, but if this crap happens again...I'm calling my OB!  Part of the reason I wanted to go back on BCP was that I was getting AF every 21 days.  This sucks!

Anyone have any experience on this?  Are the hormones just too low for my body?

It was actually the only one that worked for me out of about 5, no help here, sorry.

I was on that years ago, and didn't have any problems with it.

I've used it for 2 months, the second month was a bit better but I had the same issues you are having.  I didn't take it this month, I've been having headaches and I'm dizzy alot so I stopped it to see if that's the cause.  I see my gyn on the 28th and asking for something else.

I'm just starting my second month on it and I didn't have the issue you did.  I got AF two days after the last active pill and AF stopped 2 days after I started the next pack.  However, I've been super-cranky and emotional since I've had AF...like way worse than normal (no BCP).  Thought I'd try it one more month and if I have the same issue, it's gone!

I think that's one of many BCPs I've been on over my lifetime.  I don't remember ever having s/e like that though.  With all of them, I'd make it through the pills, and get AF on day 2-3 of the placebo.  Definitely call your OB.  There are so many BCPs now on the market.  It takes a little to find the right one for you.

I Had problems where I didn't get my period at all some months on it. This was before I knew I had PCOS. I think maybe for some people it has too low amount of hormones or something.
