lo loestrin fe

so i started my first month of lo loestrin fe and i am on the brown pills..the first brown pill(with this bc theres only 2 brown pills) so i should have started my period today..and i know its still early but usually i start my period in the mornings and i haven't started yet. i heard that some women dont get their period on this pill at all but i'm concerned bc i was put on a zpac for strept throat about 2 weeks ago..which if i am correct put me right at ovulation time and while my boyfriend and I didnt have sex while on the antibiotic, we did have sex the night before i was put on it. has anyone not gotten their period with this bc? thanks

with this one theres only 2 blank pills which is why its odd to me! and i have another friend that told me that birth control isnt completely effective in your system til youve been on it for 2 full months. thanks for the reply though!!

I've never heard the "two months" thing - what I've heard from all my ob/gyns (we're talking probably close to 10 doctors) is that you should use a backup method for the first 10 days to 2 weeks on a new form of birth control, and after that you're fine.

Also, I did catch that there are only 2 brown pills on this one - but it's still possible that you could start your period in the first few days of taking the hormone pills.

Hopefully someone who's taken the same pill will come along with more info - I just wanted to try to offer some reassurance, because I know what pregnancy scares are like!
