Beginning the journey
Fast forward to a few years ago and
Loestrin
was discontinued out of no where. I have been tried on numerous alternatives since with none even close to hitting the spot.

Period pains despite tricycling the pill?
Took
Loestrin

I have been on
Loestrin
30 for many years with no issues but it's now been discontinued unfortunately. Looking for similar low estrogen pill as Microgynon made me feel awful when I tried that before so don't want it again. Thanks.

Contraceptive pill and Crohns?
My doctor has recently changed mine (I'm now taking Gedaral), as the one I finally found that worked for my body (originally for acne) isn't available at the moment (
Loestrin
) and I'm having probably one of the worst flares in a long time!

Pelvic pain, birth control and laparoscopy
I was started in Lo
loestrin
(birth control) about three months ago due to intense pelvic pain and the finding of an ovarian cyst (via trans signal ultrasound). When I started taking the pills, everything was fine and I didn’t have any spotting or anything for the first month.

Loestrin 20
I took my pill for 3 months and then had my 7 day break but only had brown discharge for 1 day I had also met up with my boyfriend so was wondering if I was still protected during my break also is it normal for that to happen because I took it for so long? I have started taking my pill again as the break

what options are there for my daughter?
She was put on
Loestrin
just over a year ago, taking it with no breaks, and this has stopped the pain but she has gained lots of weight despite having a generally good diet.

Contraceptive pill to stop period
After a previous surgery for the same thing I took
Loestrin
for a while. This stopped my periods. I was just going to resume this. However, having done some research online it appears that this, being the combined pill, contains oestrogen and this apparently causes endo to grow.

In need of some advice
I’m on
Loestrin
20 and have never had the issues I’ve been having lately in the 5 years I’ve been on it. I bleed randomly throughout the month and I have all my PMS symptoms constantly.

Loestrin 20 - Updated experience
Hi All, I thought I'd update you regarding my current experience on
Loestrin
20. I'm now on my 3rd month and feel so much better...!! I love the fact that I did not get a single period or spotting so far! And this is already pretty great for me of course.

On birth control but doctor wants me to take Tranexamic Acid. Worried!! Anyone have to take this before while on birth control?
I started birth control Lo
Loestrin
Fe last month and the first week the bleeding was almost gone. Then it came back and now it’s heavier than what I’m comfortable with. I feel almost 3 large pads a day with someone big clots, or tiny clots.

Bladder endometriosis? Weird bleeding and pain returned, 4 months post-lap.
It was successfully excised, and I was put on BC (
loestrin
30), to be taken continuously to prevent regrowth of endo. The bleeding with urination stopped, as did the period pain, I was so happy! But then in August they returned.

16 and Unsure where to turn.
I was put on the pill:
loestrin
. It did absolutely nothing and I still bled through it. The pain couldn’t be made better with pain killers but exercise eased them off for awhile but came back with a vengeance afterwards.
