Is it normal to skip periods while on loestrin fe?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possibly normal: Low-dose birth control pills may lead to missed periods. If you are taking the pills regularly every day, without missing any days, the chance of pregnancy is very low even if you miss periods. If you are worried, try using a different brand of oral contraceptive pills.

It's possible: Loestrin is a low dose birth control . It allows for very light periods . Some months you may even not have a period . To make sure however I would take a pregnancy test
