View Full Version : Seasonale Question

I've been on Seasonale for a while, and after the initial three months, everything has been great. In the first three months, I would have a little bit of breakthrough bleeding and some nausea, but it's really regulated since then.

However, last week, I had some breakthrough bleeding. I was on my last week of the pill, scheduled this week for one of my quarterly periods. The breakthrough bleeding stopped a few days ago, and I finished the pill pack.

I'm now on day two of my "white" or inactive pill, and have no signs of a period. No cramping, spotting, mood swing, zilch.

My question is this: should I be at all concerned? With the breakthrough bleeding last week, there's low probability of me being pregnant, correct? Also, I've never missed a pill, and every time I have sex, my partner wears a condom, without fail.

Any help or opinions on this would be appreciated, thanks!!

Hey, being a previous seasonale user, I remember some oddity like what you are experiencing. Sometimes my period came late in the "white pill" time and would last only about two days. I know that you posted this question a few days ago. How are you now?

Thanks for the input - I (thankfully! ) got my period on Wednesday. Nothing like a late period to make a girl panic, huh?? :)
You know, I still had no symptoms all the way up to the actual start of the period. Weird... thanks for your help! :)

I was on it for 6 months and I had to get off it. It cause cysts in my chest (32 of them) within after 5 months of use. I had break though bleeding if I didn't take the pill at the exact time every day. I always took it at 6pm, but if I was off, even by 10mins, I would have break through bleeding the next day. Everybody handles things differently... but I haven't known anyone who didn't have problems with this pill.
