I was on Loestrin 24 for 2 years, switched to Apri due to spotting for a year and a half, and recently restarted the Loestrin. I had a normal period the first month on the Loestrin, and took the next two packs simultaneously to miss my period for a vacation. After the 3rd pack, my period was very light, much lighter than usual, and much lighter than it was when I was on Loestrin the first time. I take my pill at the exact same time every day, by an alarm clock. Should I be worried about being pregnant?
Hi there, It is extremely unlikely that you are pregnant, Holstein 24 is a very effective contraceptive, and you have been taking it for 3 months that makes you well protected. In fact the chances of getting pregnant on Holstein 24 is less than 0.03%. So do not worry about it, periods are known to get lighter when on oral contraceptive pills. You need not worry about the light periods, even though you had normal periods before when on Holstein, and they have become lighter you need not worry, the way your body is reacting to the hormonal pill may have changed with time. If you want to absolutely be sure, just do a urine pregnancy test and if its negative be rest assured and continue with the pill without worries. Hope this helpsRegards.
