A member asked:

If i just started taking the bc lo loestrin fe on the 11 when i started my cycle would i be spotting having cramps and lower back pains or am i prego?

July 11th?: If it was July 11th, then of course you are NOT pregnant. The cramps and lower back pains then are caused by something else besides starting on Lo loestrin.
