On Birth control 2 months and on full blown painful period!!!

I have posted before on the Ovarian Cancer Forum but that clearly is the wrong one to be posting on. Anyway my gyno perscribed me Seasonale birth control, treatment for Polycystic Ovarian Disease. I am into my second continuous month on the pill and I have been on my period for about 7 days. Horrible cramping, pain in bowels, nausea, and lots of bleeding. I have continued to take the pill and my symptoms get worse...So I was wondering if anyone had an idea as to what  should do?

Just saw my doc she wants me to quit the pill for 5 days and start on YASMIN. I hope it works...Thanks

I am currently on Seasonalle and the first couple months I started taking it I had the same problem you do. Before that I had been taking Desogen and that worked SO WELL. I would ask your gyno about Desogen or just stick with the Seasonalle for a couple more months (cause really... have a period only 4 times a year is like... the closest we can get to not having it at all lol) and see if your pain goes away. Either way there will be a BC that will work for you, just talk to your gyno

I would go back to the gyno and see if a different BCP can be perscribed.  I had ovarian cysts a while back and the BC I was on to help didn't help, it made the symptoms worse.  I got a 2nd opinion (my dr wasn't taking my pain seriously) and he put me on a different med.  It worked the 1st month. It might help to check it out.  Good Luck!
