Hello Everyone.

I am a Depo girl for about 6 years, recently (2months) I decided to go to Seasonale, and now 2 months into it I am having a period. Is this normal?

Am I being protected from pregnancy if I am know having a period?

YEEK!

Hi elicag, welcome!

If you have been taking your pills correctly (for tips about that see: "Taking your pills correctly" in the FAQ folder at the top of the board) you should be well protected from pregnancy. It is a very common side effect for women starting Seasonale to experience irregular bleeding some time during the first three extended cycles on that pill. Keep us posted on how you're doing on Seasonale, ok?

Good luck,
