I have been on Seasonique for 3 weeks now and I'm not sure I like it. I started taking to help with severe PMS/PMDD. This week I've been having pms/pmdd symptoms the same as I normally would before a period - mood swings, cramping, headaches, etc. The last day or two I've had some very mild spotting.

Last night I forgot to take a pill (not a big deal since my bf is out of town) and this morning the spotting was more like a start of a period. Now it's slowed down again. I know theres that 21 day rule about not stopping the pills, but after 21 days it's ok to stop and have a period.

First question: what's the signifigance of the 21 days. If I just stop the pills now, will my period come in the next few days? I know this sounds silly, but my boyfriend will be back March 3rd and I really don't want to have my time of the month when he gets back.

What should I do?

Thank you
Kathy
