i haven't used it Tilde - but i can tell you that in some way, some how you need to calm down.

I know you know this - but stressing only makes it come later and later and later...

i know
thanks for answering

I was calm until a few minutes ago - I was telling my mom that I felt bloated and that I was waiting for my period and of course she remembered I said the same thing earlier in the week so she got kind of giddy ( she doesnt know i am on BC) and I silently freaked

I have a pregnancy test but i wanted to wait a little bit to test so that i actually believe the results and dont go out and buy ten more LOL

i was on loestrin for maybe 3 months? it gave me awful headaches so i switched back to my old pill....

it's probably just stress, but i know how hard it is to stop stressing

Re: Loestrin users

its completely normal for loestrin and not unhealthy (it stops the buildup, so its not like youre just all backed up or something). i talked to my gyno about it. its actually a reason why many women opt to use this kind, bc of the upside of not getting your period or getting barely anything. TMI but i havent had to use tampons for like 6-7 mos. some women lose it altogether, some get very light spotting, don't panic!! i didn't have my period on it for 2-3 mos and then got it just very very light the next month. i highlyyyy doubt your preggo!!!

yea i had the headaches too but its just a part of the side effects during the 3-4 mth adjustment period and then they went away.

yeah, that is when i get it too - my GYN thought that was strange ( nothing to worry about she just said people usually get it one or two days after the last pill)

Sometimes I get period 'symptoms' but no period... like cramps, irritability, etc... I figure thats the same thing since I get it on sugar pill week.

I had a horrible time with loestrin. I would get it twice a month and I heard of other horror stories about that bc too.

sounds like break-through bleeding and then your normal pd, that happened to me as well during the first 4 mos and then it normalized.
