Members brianmichele Posted October 11, 2008 Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Okay, First of all I hate taking birth control pills, but we don't want to get pregnant now and I was uncomfortable with all my other options. So, I was on a mini pill because I am still nursing my 19 mo daughter. But, I kept having full blown periods (3 in one month). I was hoping to eventually switch to Seasonale after I stopped nursing my daughter. Well, since I was having so many periods on the mini pill the Dr switched me now, since my daughter only nurses about twice a day for a very short time and I am trying to wean her. So, I get my period on a Sunday and I start the Seasonale. I have been spotting ever since (14 days now). I talked to the Dr and she said it is normal with Seasonale, and I shouldn't have breakthrough bleeding after I start the next cycle of pills. Of course, that is still 11 weeks away.Does anyone else have any experience with Seasonale? How long will this go on? I haven't had sex with hubby in 15 days. It is very, very light and dark brown most of the time. It is not even heavy enough to wear a tampon. I have only been using panty liners, but it is a huge inconvenience. I know my body needs to adjust, but how long could it take? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikayla1 Posted October 11, 2008 Members Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 my girlfriend was on Seasonale and she spotted like that for a month or more. She said it was more 'annoying' than anything. She did get off it, eventually, and tried a different pill, Yaz I think. So, if your doctor says it is normal, then it probably is, but if you don't want to deal with it, then don't - get another option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie grumpy's wife Posted October 12, 2008 Newbie Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 I was on Seasonale for 2 years, and the whole 2 years I had exactally what you described about every other month. It was very annoying. My husband and I have 2 kids and decided that we didnt want anymore so he went to the doctor and had a vasectomy.

Members whitefang2002 Posted October 12, 2008 Members Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 i was on it and I had the same thing. I also got prego. on seasonal......and had a miscarriage. So its not something i ever want to go back on it. They say it takes 3months for your body to get used to it. My sister is on it and only had that spotting the first couple weeks...and now everything is fine for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
