Taking Loestrin. Late Period, Spotting. Cause?
Hi I take the pill loestrin 20 I'm not the best at making sure I take it on time every day. I usually get my period on the 4th pill free day every month without fail however this month I had a show of blood the day after I stopped taking my pill which wasn't even enough for a small tampon after a couple of hours i noticed it had completely stopped and I've had nothing show up since. What could have caused this

Hello ma'am.
It is common to have menstrual irregularities whilst on contraceptive pills, which is why I wouldn't worry much about this presentatiin unless it recurs.
Of coursebai would request you ro conduct a home pregnancy test just to rule out pregnancy which could also be the cause for such a presentation. Go about the test at least 2 weeks from your last sexual encounter, using an early morning urine sample.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
