Did change in birth control delay my period? Posted: 11-12-07 23:59pm


I am 25 years old and have been on birth control since I was 16. And my periods have always came like they should. 3 months ago my doctor switched my birth control to another brand called Loestrin 24. But last month I did not have my period. I waited 5 days and then took a pregnancy test...which came back negative. I then waited another 4 days and took another one and it too was negative. So far I am about 2 1/2 weeks late. Today I had a little spotting. I am just wondering if maybe switching to a new brand of birth control had an effect. But I am wondering why it took almost 3 months for it to happen. B/c I have been on Loestrin now since the beginning of August and my periods came like they normally did. Thanks for any advice!

switching brands of BC expecially after youd been on another kind for so long can have some side effects

Isn't loestrin famous for making women's periods go away? It's a good benefit!

I thought Loestrin was supposed to only make them shorter, not have them go away. Hmmm not sure
