I began useing seasonale 3 months ago and
experienced heavy spotting for two weeks
straight about two weeks prior to the time
I was supposed to get my pill period. I
did experience a very light period but
only for about 3 days off and on. Has
this happened to anyone else? Could the
light bleeding be a sign of pregnanacy or
is it just my body adjusting to the
suppression of my period combined with the
breakthough bleeding? Any feedback would
be extreamly helpfull!

I was on seasonale forone full pack then
went off it for the same reason, bleeding
is normal for the first few months. What
I wanted to tell you though was the issue
I now have since ive gone off. I have
been off for a few months now and have
noticed that my breasts have been
radically reshaped and show no sign of
returning to normal. They did increase in
size when I was on seasonale, I got big
red stretch-marks from it, and now the
stretchmarks persist my breasts are
smaller then they used to be before I went
on it and they are completely flattened
and droopy. Its very upsetting, im not
sure what to do about it, I guess nothing,
so I really would reconsider taking this
pill if youre on it or if your planning to
take it.

Help! Posted: 04-05-05 22:54pm
I have been on the pill for about 3 years
and recently my doctor told me I could
take my pill like seasonal. I take 4
packs in a row and then I have a period.
I have been doing this for almost 9
months. I had the normal breakthrough
bleeding the first time but this time I
have not had a period. It is about a week
and a half late and I wanted to know for
people who take seasonale if anyone else
has just skipped a period once they have
been on it for a while?? Please help!!

Well, i've been on seasonale for half a
year, and I never experienced any
breakthrough bleeding. I went 3 months
each cycle without bleeding at all, and
then I had a longer period during the
placebo week. So breakthrough bleeding on
seasonale is relatively common, but I
wouldn't say "normal" because its not
something that happens to everyone every
time. What brand of pill are you on? It
could just be the individual hormones in
that pill, and how your body responds to
it. You could switch to seasonale and
experience something totally different.
Every woman is different, maybe you should
just consider trying a new brand.
