"Started Lo Lo Estrin Fe 30 days ago as a method of BC due to a trip I'm taking to visit my boyfriend overseas coming up a month from now. Seeing as condoms irritate my body so much & completely dry me out, a BC pill seemed like a great option until I can come home & get the non-hormonal IUD. The break through bleeding on Lo Lo has legitimately been non-stop since about 3 days into the 1st pack; not the extreme period blood I would normally get, but upon wiping when I pee, the paper is always has some sort of dried blood on it. This continued right up until my placebo pills which I just started taking. Cramps all month, irritable as can be, feel a little bit more bloated than normal, but haven't weighed myself."
