First month of lo loestrin fe, took at beginning of cycle day 11 still bleeding. am i protected from pregnancy? or is it not working?

Hang in there: Presuming you started your pack within the first five days of your menstrual period, you should be protected against pregnancy regardless of how you bleed. It can take a couple months for you to acclimate to the birth control pill but you are on a very low dose birth control pill. You may ultimately need to switch to a higher dose pill.For more information www.askyourgynecologist.org
