Hi,
Recently about two and half months ago my birth control pills were switched from Alesse to Ortho Cyclen the first two periods I experienced were like y old ones, and then the last one I recently had started the exact same time and day it always does and lasted about 4-5 days lke the others but was a little lighter with less cramping. I know that the hormone level was increased and i justed wanted to check if this was normal?
Thanks

I noticed that i was getting a lot of yeast infections, so my doctor switched me to LoEstrin. My concerns are that my last period was extremely light, the lightest ive ever had. It was also late, i took a clearblue pregnacy test and it said no, but the really light period scares me still. Does this happen with LoEstrin?

thanks for any replies.

I was on LoEstrin and DID NOT like it, it made me gain weight and my face broke out, but I also had very light periods, which I actually enjoyed, cause I was always so use to having such HEAVY periods! So I believe there is no need to worry, my gyno said that was normal! But I did switch birth controls!
