Does loestrin 24e stop ovulation and give me shorter, lighter periods?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
24 days of hormones: Most birth control pills have 21 days of pills with hormones and 7 place saver pills. With your pill you are taking 24 days of pills with hormones and only 4 days of place saver pills - the more pills with hormones means that your periods are likely to be shorter and lighter, and still work well to prevent pregnancy.
