Delayed Period & Spotting After Starting Loestrin 24Fe: What to Expect?

Question
I'm fairly new at taking birth control. i have only been on Loestrin 24Fe for only one month and have never been on birth control before and i didn't get my period. i spotted for about 1/2 a day, but that's it.i didn't miss any of my pills. the insert that came with my birth control just talks about your period being light, but only spotting for 1/2 a day is really light. my question to you is this "normal" for when you first start taking birth control? once my body adjust to the pill will my periods come as their suppose to?

Answer
Your period is a healthy sign of fertility.  Since you are on the pill, you are not longer fertile so the period you have isn't going to be a clear sign of fertility.  Your body gets confused with all the hormones it has in it and it's not going to do the same thing it did without the hormones.  Your body may adjust and have periods that resemble the ones you had before.  You will have to wait and see.
