AAGH What should I do?
So I've been through quite a few Oral contraceptives to find one that helped my irregular, heavy , and very painful periods. I'm now on seasonel which is supposed to limit my cycles to 4x a year , but now that i've been on it for almost 6 months I've noticed that I don't have period for the first 2 months , just like I shouldn't , but I still have bad cramps and pain from where I had a cyst , hopefully I'm not forming another one. And then I have breakthrough bleeding/spotting all the last (3rd ) month until i get my REAL period so I feel like I'm on my period for 4 weeks. I also just finished bleeding today after 4 days of something that seemd quite like a period , and i'm only in the first month of my new pack. Should I give this BC more time or should I try another? Any suggestions on good birth controls that worked for you?
I had unprotected sex last week as well , and if I started my period , even on my birthcontrol , is there any risk I'm pregnant?

I heard that continous pill therapy can cause that in a lot of women (if not all eventually). I did that with ortho novum , ortho tricyclen and zovia (just skipped the inactives) and never had problems, but now I'm having symptoms after a few months of levellen.
you could always try another pill and just skip the inactives to only having your period every 2 months and try to work your way up to every 3?

Thanks for the info. I've thought about it , but I don't know. I wanted to have children in my mid twenties , but since I found out about my different female anatomy as described in my previous posts , I might not even be able to have children :( This bothers me more than anything...I just have to wait and see. The hard thing is , If I can get pregnant , I will be at high risk and I'm likely to have a miscarriage in my last months of pregnancy. I hate having to wait and see, I don't want to get my hopes up when I'm ready to have children and THEN find out I can't. I wish I could know now.
If you don't plan on having kids for a few years, then the IUD is great. No patches, shots, pills, caps, rings, etc.. The IUD is thought free and lasts for 3 years. :-)
I've had mine for nearly 4 months. Havn't taken it for a test drive, but its the most effective form of birth control. :-)
