Can someone please explain to me why I would have breakthrough bleeding after being on Seasonale after a year? I have never had a problem with this pill until now. I am on my 4th pack and I am halfway through it (not due to get my period until October) and I have had spotting for the last week. It hasn't been heavy but its still been there accompanied by cramps like I am having my period. I am a healthy 37 year old who has not had any physical problems and have not had any children either. Am I going to be spotting until I finish this pack in October? What is going on, please help!!
I have been on Seasonale for about a year now as well... When i first started taking the pill this happened every so often but then it went away and now it is back... However the one and only time i find that i breakthrough bleed is during intercourse. In the beginning i found that if i took my pill to late ( like a couple of hours after i should have) which i have been doing lately by mistake. it happens more. its annoying and very inconvenient. I also wonder if stress or anything has to do with it. i have been very stressed out lately, i just moved to a new state so maybe that has done it. I dont know... Am i the only crazy girl with this inconvenient problem??
