Seasonale and period question
by MachaNeko, Oct 24, 2007 07:49AM
I've been taking Seasonale for about 2.5 months and according to the label and directions/descriptions, I shouldn't get my period for at least 3 months. At about 2.2 months I started bleeding brown blood I'm assuming, and then 1 week later my period was full blown and red blood came out in a regular flow for me. When I had regular periods before taking the birth control pill, I had severe cramps and a heavy flow but the cramps only lasted at max 2 days. Since my period started with Seasonale, I have had to take 4 muscle relaxers to stop crying and its been 3 days since my cramps first started. Is my body rejecting or getting used to the Seasonale and no longer having affect on my body? Why is the pill not stopping my period for 3 months like it said? I haven't have intercourse since I started it but I may soon (when I hear the answer to this post) and I don't want to get pregnant.

You can often have irregular bleeding on Seasonale. It usually gets better in a few months. See your doctor if you are concerned about the bleeding and cramping. Have you missed any pills that might be contributing to this?
