An update and trying a new pill...

So, a few months ago I posted about problems I was having with Yaz, which at the time was not having my period for 2 months in a row (with two negative pregnancy tests!). I eventually had some light spotting start again after the 3rd month, but had been feeling very sick during my off days of the pill. I finally got to my GYN, and found out that there's no problem with having such a light period, but that the reason I'm getting sick is because my body was going through estrogen withdrawal when I wasn't taking active pills.

I'm starting Seasonique on Sunday, and I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this pill, and/or if anyone else has had problems with getting sick from flucating hormone levels?

There are women who have issues with estrogen withdrawal during the inactive week, but it's not terribly common.

Thanks so much for your reply! I've never heard of Mircette, but Seasonique also has estrogen during the off week. I just started it last night, so we'll see how this goes. I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem! It just sounds so... strange :)
