I've been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for a few months now, and I'm not having any period whatsoever. It's great for the time, but I am also not sure if that is normal. I've heard that the iron can help with anemia, but I'm not sure what to think about the lack of bleeding entirely. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't want to stop the birth control, but I am concerned that I will not get any period. Or am I just being paranoid?

I honestly don't think there is anything to worry about. I had a period last week and I am worried I am pregnant. I am waiting for my period. Maybe I am paranoid, but I am worried. It's an adjustment to not have a period. I miss them, but sometimes I get paranoid. I am worried I am pregnant. I had a period last week and I am worried I might be pregnant.

It is nice to not worry about it, but I do miss the normalcy. You are not alone.

I miss my periods. They reminded me I wasn't pregnant, but I refuse to take a pregnancy test every week. I guess I need to reconsider them. I would rather not get pregnant and it's worth the wait.

I know what you mean. It's like my body is on vacation from periods and I don't know what to do with myself. I miss the cramps, but I do not miss the bleeding. It is a relief that I am not having to deal with the bleeding and pain. I don't have to worry about it and I am not missing work. It is a relief to know I am covered and can relax for a while. I'm glad to have the peace of mind that I am not pregnant.

I have been taking Loestrin 24 FE for a year and have not had a period. It is a relief since it has eases cramping and pain. I don't get any mood swings anymore. I'm not quite sure if I am relieved or not. I really miss it sometimes. It's always in the back of my mind that I haven't bled. I forget to take my birth control. I am glad I haven't bled. I am not sure if the birth control is causing it, or if I am pregnant. I am always checking to see. I wish I had a period. It reminds me I am not pregnant. It's both good and bad. It's weird. I had a period last week and I am worried I am pregnant. I am waiting for my period. Maybe I am paranoid, but I am worried.

I felt the same way at first, but my doctor assured me it’s normal. The iron helps keep you from being anemic and your body needs the iron for pregnancy prevention. Stop fretting. It's all normal.

I started to miss my period, after awhile. I am not used to not having one. I do have to admit that it is an adjustment. I am getting used to it, but it still feels strange. I get anxious and am always checking my pants for blood. It's a bit of a relief not to have periods, but I do miss the normalcy of them.

I take my pills around 1a.m. It helps when I forget to take them. I always remember to take my birth control because sometimes I forget to take any medicine and I end up getting sick. Sometimes I have taken them too late in the day and I can feel the effects. I wake up and I feel a bit queasy. Another sleep and a glass of water and I am fine. It is a little weird that I do not have a period. It is a great relief to not have to worry about periods and I am not getting pregnant.

I actually miss the cramps of my old period. They were annoying, but they reminded me I wasn't pregnant. Not having a period feels weird. I had already done all the tests and I am sure. My doctor says to keep going. It's just weird to go so long without a period.
