    Hi roquen. I got pg on the pill, 'af' still came but was light and pink, and lasted around 24 hrs. You're right, af on the pill is simply a withdrawal bleed from the hormones, hence the bleeding beginning a few days after you start taking the sugar pills. Test again in a few days, otherwise I would consider switching to another brand. Xx

    I personally didn't have much luck with Levlen ED.

    Not to say there is anything wrong with it, it just wasn't right for me.

    After I told my GP of my symptoms (similar to yours) she tested me (BFN) and then changed my pill to Estelle.

    I personally suffer from PCOS and she told me Levlen ED is not the best option for women with this disorder.

    I would talk to your Dr about it.

    Thanks for the replies. Another BFN today so I will go to the doc this week and talk about trying something else. I just don't feel right!

    Hi Roquen. I hope everything is ok.
    I'd say go get a blood test as sometimes there isn't the right amount of HCG to have a positive test - for example my stepmother did 5 home preg tests over 5 weeks, and got two blood tests in the foloowing two weeks... the second blood test came up as positive, all the other tests were negative. The ultrasound three weeks later showed that she was almost 13 weeks preg.
    Stranger things have happened lol.
    I myself can't use the Levlen ED pill since having DS, makes me very VERY hormonal, nauseus, and not a nice person to be around, and gives me breakthrough bleeds which it never did before DS.

    Oh, and DS was concieved while on the pill too, I'd been on it for almost 3 months when I found out I was preg.
