I have been taking Quasense for almost 8 weeks now and have probably been bleeding for about 4 of those weeks. This is the first bc I've ever taken, so I imagine some of it could be due to my body adjusting, but with so many women saying that they did not have problems with Seasonale, I'm beginning to have second thoughts. I had no problem the first 2 weeks, and when I began light bleeding on the 3rd week, I didn't think it was a big deal especially with it being fairly light compared to my usual cycle. It lasted for a week and 1/2, but I never had to wear anything more than a panty liner. My cycle was also typically closer to every 3 1/2 weeks rather than 4 without a pill, so I figured my body was probably just getting used to things. About 2 1/2 weeks ago I started bleeding again. It has still been lighter than my normal cycle, but much more than I would consider spotting. My wedding is in a little over a month and I'm not sure what to do. Switching to a new pill could cause problems too, but I don't want to be bleeding through my entire honeymoon in Mexico. I have not had any other negative symptoms though. No weight gain, no acne, no moodswings.

I've been taking generics of seasonale since last november. Up until a month ago, I had taken Jolessa the whole time, but my insurance refused to cover it anymore and now I have to take Quasense. My mood swings and weight gain didn't bother me as much before, but for the past 4 weeks I've been crying over EVERYTHING. I'm so emotional and start fights and get upset over the smallest things. I'm always so tired and I wake up with horrible headaches that feel like someone's standing on my head. I find myself having cramps that I shouldn't be having, and having bowel movements after everything I eat. The whole time I was on Jolessa, I never used to spot between periods, and (thank god) haven't found that happening yet with Quasense. Should I call my doctor and try a new contraceptive method all together?

I too have experienced what you have- weight gain, severe mood swings, breakouts on my face, decreased sex-drive, and my armpits are sweating something fierce- I mean like never before. I can't sleep at all, and am exhausted two hours after I'm up. Only I'm not going to switch to another pill. I've had it. I'm going to invest in a large box of condoms- one for every room in the house. I'd rather be thin and annoyed that I have to grab a condom than be fat and sweaty and not even want sex anyway.
