Still MissedPeriod after Loestrin

I was on loestrin for roughly 10 months... the last 4 of which I stopped having my period altogether.  Now I have been off of the pill for 3 weeks and still nothing?  Blood work and urine tests show I am not pregnant. How will I get my body back on track?  I feel horrible as a result and regret taking this medicine. Before LoestrinI was like clock work (even on other birth control pills) - help - my husband and I want to try to get pregnant next year

I have had the same experience with this birth control. I have been on it for almost a year, and I quit having a period by the 4th pill pack! Then, my body may spontaneously decide to have a 3-4 day period cycle in the middle of a pill pack! I am constantly taking pregnancy tests to make sure that I'm not pregnant, and theyre all negative, but this bc pill kind of worries me.

I've been taking Loestrin for about 3 months. Those three months were normal, although my period was very, very light.

Now, though, I've missed my period in the fourth month. It does seem unnatural and I'm a little worried about it. I'm glad to hear, though, that others are experiencing the same effect.

I have the same issue with Loestrin. I have been on it for about a year. At first I had normal periods and then it would be every two months, then every three, and now it has been four months and no period. My nurse explained that this medicine "dries you up" and that it is nothing to be worried about however I just dont think it is natural or healthy. I am not married yet, but do want to have kids in the future and would hate for this medicine to get in the way of that. If you find anything out please let me know!
