Question about Seasonique (birth control)?
I've been on Seasonique for about 2 and a half months now and all of the sudden I started my period. It wasn't time for me to take the placebo pills, but so far my period has been going on for 13 days now. I'm still taking the pills daily.
I was just wondering if this was common or if anyone else has had this problem. I tried calling my Doctor today, but I got a busy signal and then when I remembered to call back later, they were already closed :(
So if anyone could give me some information, that would be great. Thank you.

If you're getting breakthrough bleeding at any time other than during the placebo pills, then it generally means that you need a stronger pill. You can actually take any monophasic pill as though it was Seasonale, just keep taking the active pills for three or four packs in a row, so you don't have to lose having fewer periods if you have to switch pill. I found that I'd get breakthrough bleeding a few months in on several different pills, so had to change. Went through about 5 or 6 before I found one that worked well, and now I've been on that one for about 8 years.
Keep taking your pills for now - they are still protecting you against pregnancy.

I bled the entire 3rd month when I tried them. I didn't like it, so I quit taking it after finishing the pack. I have no clue as to if things get better after staying on them for a while or not. I wish you good luck!
