Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"After 15 years off birth control my Dr. Started me on Lo Loestrin Fe to regulate my shortening cycles and perimenopausal symptoms. I didn&#039;t have any problems with the pill when I took it years ago so I really didn&#039;t expect this roller coaster.   The first month I had constant cramps, night sweats and bloating but my cycle did extend to 25 days and was significantly lighter.   The second month I had bleeding and spotting for 21 straight days.  I was worried I had cancer.  My doctor feels a pill with higher estrogen will do the trick. I&#039;m ready to try anything but this another month.  I realize everyone responds differently to every med. I&#039;m only posting to help some else who may be experiencing the side effects."
