I have been on it for about 2 weeks now and I don't like it at all. I started taking it right after my period was over and guess what, I have my period again. I am moody, cry at the drop of a hat and get mad for no reason at all. I am stopping because I can't live like this. My poor husband o and my depression is back and in full full swing where I had it under control before.

I am wondering if anyone else's Dr. told them to take this pill for 90 days straight, then stop taking it for 7 days - supposedly to have a period, then start taking it again for another 90 days, and so on? I have been on this for about a year and I was taking it every day and had a period every 4 weeks for awhile, then one week early, then every 4 weeks again, the one week early, etc. I had bee ...

I am wondering if anyone else's Dr. told them to take this pill for 90 days straight, then stop taking it for 7 days - supposedly to have a period, then start taking it again for another 90 days, and so on? I have been on this for about a year and I was taking it every day and had a period every 4 weeks for awhile, then one week early, then every 4 weeks again, the one week early, etc. I had been telling my Dr. about this at the last two appointments and finally he said I was taking it wrong. He says he told me to do the 90 days on, one week off from the beginning, but I do not remember that. I am very hesitant to stop and restart this pill for fear of pregnancy. Also, it has never stopped my periods for more than 4 weeks, my blood pressure has always been fine - why do I need to be on this pill?? Dr said it helps prevent blot clots and this is the only reason he gave me. I have gained about 25 lbs in the last year also.

I haven't really had too many negative side effects on this drug. Haven't experienced any nausea, cramping or mood swings. However, when I first started taking it, I spotted for about a week and then started my period right after for a week and a half with very, very heavy bleeding. I just started my six month and it's doing its job by keeping me from getting pregnant, but it's really messing with my menstrual cycle. I used to take Loestrin 24, but then stopped for a while. One day, at the dr's my blood pressure reading was high and I got put on orthomicronor. Dr. told me it would keep me from getting pregnant and wouldn't mess too much with my blood pressure, but it wouldn't necessarily regulate my period. Since the second month, I've been having periods that lasts for about a week, every week and a half or so. Very annoying.
