Short answer: No. The white pills in Lo Loestrin Fe are placebo pills that don’t contain hormones. They’re mainly to keep you in a routine and to provide iron. If you want to: - Skip the white pills and start a new pack right away: that’s fine and will usually stop you from getting a period that month. - Take the white pills: that will give you a 4-day iron-containing placebo period and you’ll likely have a withdrawal bleed. A couple of practical tips: - If you skip the white pills and start a new pack, try to do it within about 24 hours of finishing the last active pill to maintain contraception. - If you miss any active (hormone) pills, follow the package directions or contact your healthcare provider about backup contraception. - If you’re unsure what to do, or if you have any medical conditions or risk factors (like smoking and age 35+), check with your clinician or pharmacist. If you’d like, tell me how your pack is laid out (how many active pills vs. white pills you have) and I can tailor the guidance more precisely.
