This ties in with my increasing levo to 50mg, is it ok to be on a low dose combined pill (
loestrin
20) along with the thyroxine? The only medications I take are the pill and Mirtazapine 15mg (lowest dose) for depression and insomnia the last 3 years. The 50mg of levo too of course. Julie

Mini pill: 2 a day
Hi, I am currently taking
Loestrin
30 but as I'm waiting for an op and have reduced movement from pain, I am wanting to go back on a mini pill (my grandmother nearly died from clots) My new consultant advised 2 cerelle pills a day?! To stop constant bleeding I had on it before.

Is coming of the combined pill a good idea?
I went on the pill
Loestrin
20 to help my heavy periods 4 years ago. My periods were always heavy and painful but suddenly became extremely heavy and I'd get midcycle spotting and agony during ovulation.

Does anyone have any experiences with using the pill to help with pain.
At a follow-up appt last week my consultant has suggested I start to take a combined pill - he mentioned
Loestrin
20 or Gestodene.... Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.

Before I do my last test before GP treats me. Adrenal Q
I take the pill
Loestrin
for heavy periods, which I do want to wean off but right now due to how unwell I feel I am not sure i could cope with the heavy periods making me fatigued more so. My main symptom is this crippling fatigue and the crashes i experience. I shall attach the latest results.

Coming off the combined pill
He says
loestrin
20 is very low risk as tiny amount of hormone but I always worry about risk of breast cancer and dvt. I know only I can make this decision. I'm just struggling to decide what's for the best.

Coming off the combined pill
My gp put me on
loestrin
20. I reluctantly tried it as I was desperate. I have bad anxiety taking medication especially the pill as I feared dvts/PE. It worked and my periods are 3 days long now and barely there. It's been great. My anxiety calmed so much and I could get out and live life.

Pain is back and feeling rubbish
Gyno told me to take pill without any breaks and after op changed from
loestrin
to rigevidon as emotions and hormones seemed to be all over the place and was crying for no reason sometimes.

TSH 6.54. What do I do?
The only medication I am on is
Loestrin
20 combined pill to control heavy periods I started with 3 years ago. Also Mirtazapine 15mg to help my anxiety, I have been on that 2 years. But my TSH was 4.9 in 2013 before I even took Mirtazapine. Do I have a case with my GP?

Could I be pregnant
I am on
loestrin
20 and I have noticed that at some point in the last two weeks I have missed taking 4 pills. On Saturday just gone I realised in the night that I missed the two pills prior to that (which equates to 2 or the 4 pills) other 2 I'm not sure when they were from.

Premature or early menopause?
Whilst still on the pill (
loestrin
) and at the age of 39 years, 3 months I stopped having withdrawal bleeds. After three months I went to see my GP and raised the possibility (jokingly) of menopause. She nixed it.

Slightly scalloped tongue but don't know why
The thing is, I've been chronically tired for years, my withdrawal bleeds on the pill (
Loestrin
30) have become very erratic: sometimes absent for months, sometimes much heavier and clottier (like postpartum clots) than usual, having previously been reliable and predictable.

Medication not working after having baby
This was taking the
Loestrin
20 pill 'back to back' for 3 months and also taking Mefenamic Acid and Tranexamic Acid to control the pain, this worked great for me for 3 years.

Has anyone used Loestrin as BCP here?
Apparently,
Loestrin
has caused increased libido in several cases (I would be happy as long as it doesn't decreases it). Has anyone tried this pill and have had this effect as well? I want to discuss it with my doctor to see if I can take it.

Spotting whilst on Loestrin 20
I was started on
Loestrin
20 at the end of June for pelvic pain (which i believe is endo). I was told to take the 3 packs back to back. I am half way through my 2nd pack and have been spotting for a week. Is this normal or should I go see my doctor.
