I need some advice about the pill (Loestrin 20) please!?

I have been taking Loestrin 20 since the beginning of the year (although I did take it for a year or so the year before). I went on holiday in mid august and was due to finish the course while I was away. As I didn't want my period while on hols I started the next packet without a break. I am now nearly at the end of the second week of this course and it looks as though I have just started a period! Why is this? Last week I was late taking a pill by about 12 hours but I have missed pills before and not come on.





Is there something wrong?I need some advice about the pill (Loestrin 20) please!?
no this is what you get for running through 2 packs also taking wrong time can cause a bleedI need some advice about the pill (Loestrin 20) please!?
Its possible that you are just having some breakthrough bleeding b/c of the 12 hour missed pill. I know that you said normally it doesn't happen b/c of that. BUT since you skipped your period that last time, it may be the reason.





If it continues for more than a day or so then i would call the dr.
after 28 yrs knowledge in giveing treatment and advise i urge you to explain exactly what happened to your gp who will not only be able to test but phraps surgest a change to another product as it may not be suiting you all the best jon
Don't panic. The thing about Loestrin 20 is that it's one of the weakest pills and doesn't give you a lot of leeway. I was on that particular pill for a few years and spoke to my doctor about the fact that I felt it was a bit risky. She changed me to Loestrin 30 and I had no worries after this as it is a slightly stronger dose of the same. I would certainly recommend this to you.
Nothing is wrong. Your uterus can only hold so much blood. Just keep taking your pills. When it comes time for the next period have it. It may be lighter than normal. And never go without another break agian. (It makes for bad periods later on)
