I am 34.. Have been on the pill for pretty much my whole adult life.
3 months ago I started Seasonale.. thinking how great would it be to only have a period 4 times a year. BUT... my first week on my 3rd month of seasonale, I started breakthrough bleeding (As they say) to me its a damn full blown period plus 10. I have had the worse cramps and very heavy. Way heavier then I have ever been through. Long story short, today is my 19 day of bleeding. My dr. took me off seasonale and I am now on YAZ... The bleeding has not stopped so they have me taking 2 birth controls a night. Other then the headache and tummy upsets.. Its not helping me either. I am still bleeding. When I was on seasonale I was VERY bloated and started to get constipated. needless to say those side effects are calming down.
Has anyone else gone through this.. Please let me know that there is a end in sight for me.. I can't handle this period thing.

Omg I am literally going through this as we speak. I'm 36 been on the pill since I can remember. Was switched to yaz for ppmd which helped some of the time. Dr. put me on seasonale to which helped the ppmd but I have major chin pimples one goes away 3 more pop up. This has been during month 3. Cut to last Saturday pill before the water pills I noticed light spotty period sun+ mon and Tuesday nothing. Thought ok this isn't so bad?! Well I'm at work wed night (hair dressing) and all of the sudden I felt a heavy gush that continues throughout the night. I only had a panty liner on and when I got to the bathroom it was completely saturated like a period should be on day 1 without bc pills. It's odd to me because I stopped getting periods from being on the pill so long. Now I'm heavy and really concerned weather this is normal?
