Ladies who use Loestrin® 24 Fe

So I've been taking it for 4 cycles now. My periods are obviously shorter than a regular pill, lasting about 1.5-2 days max. Except for this last month. Virtually no bleeding, and (TMI) not even enough to fill one tampon. I've bled more with a nosebleed. I'm not complaining, but have always had a "regular" period while on the pill. Anyone else have this same experience with this particular pill?

I took it for many years with no problems. Some months I'd have AF for 1-2 days, others it was 3-5 days.
I'm now on Lybrel because of another issue. NO periods to deal with at all!

You said it Michelle. I jokinly told my OB that he shouldn't give pills that make you 'skip' periods to post partum women. I POAS a lot even though I was on that pill, talk about paranoia! The first month on that pill I totally called the nurse freaking out that I was on BC and 10 days 'late' that was an ineresting conversation, LOL.
That's what I just got off of - well the 28 day version. Was on that BC for 10+ years. For the longest time I didn't have a period - of course in my early 20's did not care. It later started back up, but very light. So totally normal.

This is what I was put on after I had Jack. It gave me little to no period, but I went two months having break-thru bleading. On the 15th day after I started the new pack, I'd have bleeding for a few days. I stopped taking the pill about a month ago. I hated not having a period, the break-thru bleeding, and the overall crappy way it made me feel. I've never had good luck with bcp.
I was on it for a couple of years too and my periods were so small. I liked that part of the pills but when I started TTC then it worried me not seeing a period. Now I am on Orth-Tri because I wanted to be sure I had a period in case we want to try for # 2 in the future.
