Low-ogestrel 28

[tara]

Has anyone had any side effects from low-ogestrel 28?

[Liz]

Yes actually I started low-ogestreal a pack and a half ago and for some reason i still haven't had a period. i know that i am not pregnant because I had it checked out. I did however just come off Yaz but I still cant seem to find a reason why I haven't had a period yet? Does anybody have an idea?

I have been taking low-ogesterel foe two weeks now I have had heavier bleeding I am eating alot and normaly I like to exercise but now I have headaches and I am so tired I was put on it for pmdd but it seems to make me feel like I have mt period all the time at least before I had one good week out of the month to look forward to now I have none

I used to take low-ogestrel and i loved it, i'm switching back because not only is it a safer pill but I hate the new pill that I am on, but that is neither here nor there.

shauna - If you have a history of headaches low-ogestrel is not for you, it can cause migraines, and was the reason i was switched off of it. it is also a pretty high hormone pill, so that is probably the reason you are having bleeding problems. I never had breakthrough bleeding on this pill, but my periods were heavier during the placebo week than they were on other pills. Which i didnt have a problem with, but some people do.

Liz - its not abnormal to skip a period when changing pills, or for it to take a couple of packs for your period to regulate itself again. Its just your body getting used to the different hormones used in the pills.

i have just stopped taking yasmin because i was getting my period twice a month which obviously isnt normal.so i switched to low ogestrel 28 hopefully it will get me back to normal.to anyone who is taking this pill which day of the placebo pills did u get your period?

[Barb]

I would end the active pills on a tuesday and thursday night at 11pm i would get my period and it would end sunday afternoon by 5pm. it was seriously like clock work. fantastic.

[lisa]

so barb..did you end up getting your period twice in one month on this pill or was it like a normal cycle? because i literally started taking this pill last wk and dont want it to be like the yasmin.

[Barb]

It was exactly like a normal cycle, although the bleeding was pretty light after the first day. I had zero break-through bleeding on low-ogestrel. I hope this pill works for you!

Hi. I am 17 and have very irregular periods so I was taking a pill called Quasense. It's the pill that makes you have a period every three months. It made me bleed very heavily the entire time I was taking it. So I switched to Low-Ogestrel. I have just finished my first month and I have not had my period. Only a very small amount of pink on the toilet paper after going to the bathroom. Is this normal. And I have not had unprotected sex. My partner used a condom and this was strictly a one time thing. And that was about a month ago. I have not tested for pregnancy. Someone please answer me.

sometimes you will skip periods on any birth control pill. Your body is probably all out of wack from the synthetic hormones from the other pill and the hormones from the new pill. its practically impossible that you are pregnant. give it another month, if you dont get get your period then call your doctor.

Thanks. I have finally started bleeding. And I am very relieved. Thanks for your help and advice.
