Seasonale question...?

I started on Seasonale about 2 months ago and I realized that around the time that I am supposed to be getting my period I get PMS symptoms...cramps, breast tenderness, etc. Does anyone know if this is normal, because it is really only around that time of the month, and I have yet to find anything that says that is normal, or abnormal for that matter. If someone knows and could please help it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. I have been using Seasonale for 5 months. I get the odd PMS symptom here and there. Not nearly as bad as before the pill, though. And because I don't have a period, I don't really know if these things happen around the time they would without the pill. I get a little breast tenderness that usually goes away in a day or so (they used to swell up a cup size and cause severe pain). Sometimes I get what feels like a period cramp. It goes away in a day, also.

I would guess it's normal. It seems that these things have lessened since I started the pill.
