I have been having the worst cramps in the world, but I haven’t started my period. I started taking LoEstrin about 2 weeks ago, but not at the directed time (the first sunday of your period). I took it two weeks before my period was supposed to start, and now I’m a week late. I’m not pregnant, but I’m just wondering if this is normal??? And I just want to know other side effects of this pill because I’ve never taken it before.

of course you are a week late, it’s becuase you started taking the pills before your period. You won’t get your next period until you get to those period pills in your pack.

If you took it BEFORE you had your period, you’re going to have an off schedule.
Look at it like this: when you’re on the pill, you don’t ovulate. If you are on the week when your NORMAL period would take place but you’re still on hormone pills, you’re not going to get your period.
When you take the placebo (white/brown) pills, you’re going start your period.
I never had much of a problem with LoE, but that was just me.
