I'm almost at the end of my first 11 weeks on Seasonale.

Hi Sally,

I can't tell you if it will get better or not. Sounds like I'm a few weeks behind you. I'm on Seasonale too. I'm in my 9th week. I also have been having btb throughout this entire first pack. I have an appt with a new gyno this week to possibly change pills. I'm anemic so I have to keep a close eye on it. I worry about it too much I think and that causes it to continue. How many total days have you had btb? I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one out there with problems with this pill.

Hi sallyjowv, welcome!

Irregular bleeding on Seasonale is very, very common through the first 3 extended cycles. After that the incidences of bleeding drop to the same rate as for 21/7 regimen pills. Over time your bleeding instances should become fewer but no one can say when they will stop. I’m sorry, I know it's aggravating. I hope the bleeding stops soon.

Good luck,
