"started lo lo estrin fe 30 days ago as a method of bc due to a trip i&#039;m taking to visit my boyfriend overseas coming up a month from now. seeing as condoms irritate my body so much &amp; completely dry me out, a bc pill seemed like a great option until i can come home &amp; get the non-hormonal iud. the break through bleeding on lo lo has legitimately been non-stop since about 3 days into the 1st pack; not the extreme period blood i would normally get, but upon wiping when i pee, the paper is always has some sort of dried blood on it. this continued right up until my placebo pills which i just started taking. cramps all month, irritable as can be, feel a little bit more bloated than normal, but haven&#039;t weighed myself."
