Just started lo loestrin fe on the first day of my period over 2weeks ago. i'm still bleeding. normal? when will it stop?

Hormonal control: The loestrin fe is a very low dose contraceptive that is trying to control the endometrial lining which keeps "breaking off" early. This is called breakthrough bleeding which usually resolves during the 2nd month of pill use.
