What if you are taking loestrin fe and have not started your period yet?

Birth control pills may affect your period length and your bleeding patterns. Spotting or light bleeding is common in the first months of taking birth control pills. While taking birth control pills continuously can stop your periods, once you stop, your period may temporarily be longer or shorter.

Reasons for not having a period while on Loestrin Fe:

- It can take up to a few months for menstruation cycles to return to the pre-birth control routine after stopping Loestrin Fe.

- Certain pregnancy tests can return a false negative if taken too early after stopping birth control.

-Loestrin Fe is a monophasic form of birth control that provides the same amount of estrogen and progestin with every active pill, meaning there is no drop in hormones throughout the cycle that would usually cause a period to start.

If you have not had a period after stopping Loestrin Fe for several months, it's advisable to take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy and seek advice from a healthcare professional to discuss possible underlying causes and consider alternative options for regulating menstrual cycles.
