Seasonale Problems Posted: 05-08-06 18:41pm
This is my fifth month taking seasonale,
and it has not been good so far. It is
my first time taking birth control, and I
keep thinking i'm pregnant because of all
the weird side effects. I know the pill
is supposedly 99% effective-maybe I am
paranoid. The most common and irritating
side effect is the breakthrough bleeding.
It happens even when it is not time for
my period and lasts longer than a period.
I am definitely going to the doctor next
week. I'm wondering, though, if I should
stick with it a little longer. Some
women have said that once your body
adjusts after the second cycle, everything
is fine. If someone has gone through
something similar and has advice, I
welcome it.

Anytime you skip periods you run a risk of
breathrough bleeding and spotting, some
women find that so troublesome taht they
decide to stop using seasonale.
Birth control does cause sore breasts,
and other symptoms that could be mistaken
for pregnancy, so it is not in your
head..
Birth control is 99% effective.
