I am really sorry for everyone out there that had bad experiences with Quasense. I had been taking this pill for 9 months and I loved it. It had cleared up my acne and I had absolutely no spotting, my periods were lighter and they would usually last for about 2-3 days. The only side effect I had were daily headaches. I do suffer from migraines every once in a while so these headaches were nothing compared to migraines, but they started coming everyday. I talked with my mom about it and she said it could be from the pills. So I stopped taking them. The headaches went away, but other things came back. I started getting acne again, my cramping got worse. I went back to my doctor and I was prescribed an antibiotic for my acne, and a regular birth control that I can take for 3 weeks and I just skip the dummy pills and start a new pack like the Quasense. Still to this day I haven’t gotten rid of my acne and that was my only reason for going on the pill. I want to get back on Quasense because I think the headaches are worth a pretty face. And from reading all the posts I think I got off lucky with just the headaches. Or I might even consider Seasonale if everyone says its so great.

Has anyone been on Quasense for awhile and the breakthrough bleeding has stopped. I have been on this product for 2 months now and in the past two weeks have experienced bleeding. the last week it has gotten heavier. I don't want to give up on this product so I need to know if anyone out there has been on this birth control and over time the side effects have stopped.

I have been taking Quasense for 3 months now and i have been on my period for almost 3 weeks now. It started as a normal period but i am now bleeding so badly that i can't make it through a class without bleeding through. Also, there is a flesh like discharge in my period too, it looks very unhealthy. I feel like this birth control is screwing up my body and I would recommend anyone who is taking it to stop. I feel very sick and am light headed all the time. I stopped taking the medication and the period continues and worsens.

I've been on Quasense for about 5months now. It's my first birth control, and I was happy with it until I was spotting a week before my wedding! After freaking out, it amazingly (miraculously) stopped a day before the wedding. So I decided to continue with it. It's been great until about 3 weeks ago. I have been spotting (sometimes more than just "spotting") for more than 2 weeks now! In addition to that, I'm convinced that Quasense has significantly contributed towards an increase in frequency and severity of my migraines!
Between the spotting and migraines... I had my doctor call in a prescription for Yaz TODAY.
Not surprisingly... the hubby isn't too thrilled with Quasense either!

I'm in the same boat with quite a few: Uncontrollable mood swings and increased irritability, depression and anger. I don't sleep very well and am exhausted after a few hours of being up. I haven't had any acne problems, but I don't like the surprise periods I've gotten. They said they're not supposed to happen (for sure after the first two or three months) and I've been on it for almost six months and I get random periods that last for two weeks. I've gained almost 20 pounds too. This is the first birth control I've been on, and I'll tell ya, it's not fun!

I gained almost 20 pounds that I can't take off (usually i lose weight with just diet, and now I can't with both diet and exercise). Basically I have a period and cramps all the time, which leads to me needing about 14 hours of sleep a night. Caffeine no longer works for me in the morning to wake up. Sometimes I have headaches which last for two days. So basically I'm paying 120 every month so I can be fat, tired, and bleeding- indeed a fabulous birth control, since I feel very unattractive!

I have been taking Quasense for about 6 weeks. I had horrible bleeding for 3 weeks straight, I've been getting really bad headaches that last for days at a time, my skin is breaking out and nothing seems to clear it up, I've gained 15 pounds since I began taking it, and I have uncontrollable mood swings.
