A member asked:
My girlfriend has been taking lo loestrin fe for a little over a year, she never has her period, she is not sexually active, why is this?

Amenorrhea: Birth control pills are designed to lessen the amount of her period or even stop it. Loestrin brand is one of the pills that I find causes amenorrhea (no period), especially the lower dose ones. This side effect is perfectly normal and healthy and for many women desireable. No woman needs to have a period if taking birth control,
