Upping Dose to Control Spotting Posted: 02-27-07 19:25pm
I've been taking Seasonale for over a
year. I had some spotting during the first
couple cycles, which I know is normal. It
eventually went away, but now it is back
for some reason. I have about three weeks
of pills left until the placebos, and I
really don't want to be spotting all that
time.
I thought I read somewhere that one can
increase the dosage to two pills at a time
for a day or two in order to control
spotting. But I don't remember the
specifics. For instance, I don't remember
if the instructions were to do that for
one day or two days, and when in the cycle
I should do it. I can no longer find the
article. I don't want to be doing anything
dangerous.
Maybe it was a figment of my imagination.
Does it sound familiar to anyone? Is
temporarily upping the dosage safe?

I've never heard of this, though I can see
how it could reduce spotting. However, how
are you supposed to take two pills at
once? Take one from another pack of pills,
or take two from the same month? That's
going to lessen how many days you take
pills for, which is not good. I'd try to
look up more info on this. You might also
consider swtiching brands to another pill
that inherently has a higher dose, or talk
to your practicioner.
