    Loestrin 24 FE

    I started Loestrin 24 Fe in Late June 2011. My first period was 4 days long and light. I missed my second period. I have taken HPTs and all have been negative. I started my next period 2 days early. It was heavier than normal with a few small clots, but progressed like a normal period (ending with brown blood). Is this normal? Has anyone experienced problems like these?

    When I was on that pill, I took so many HPT's I can't even count. It's common to skip periods altogether on this pill. Then when you have one, it's like it's been building up for months and it's pretty rough. I eventually went off that pill because even though I was skipping several months of periods, I still had all the symptoms and just never knew when I might start.
