Help! I was put on Lo Loestrin Fe for my extremely heavy periods. I'm on the 4th week of my second pack and have bled all of but maybe 5 days these past two months. Of those days I wasn't bleeding, I had an excruciatingly painful UTI (I have had maybe 3 UTIs my whole 24 years of life.) My doctor said I need to get used to the birth control, but this is regular period bleeding, not just "spotting." It's ruining all my panties, my sex life, my mood, and I've gained ten pounds. Anyone else experience this?
