Bad cramping, brown, stringy discharge while on BC?!
Question: Bad cramping, brown, stringy discharge while on BC!?
I started taking Seasonique in August!. It's a three month pack of pills and I'm now on my last month!. The beginning of week ten, I had a little bit of discharge, but not enough to wear a pad!. A few days after that, my cramps got SO bad and I'm having to wear pads and change them every 2-3 hours!. I'm in the middle of the next week of pills and still dealing with the pain!. Midol does not help!. The discharge is brown and stringy, with little blood clots at the end!. I started taking Seasonique because my doctors think I have endometriosis and that it flares up around my period!. Less periods=less pain!. But it's not helping at all and I don't want to be having blood and discharge coming out of me for a whole month!.!.!. it's not worth it!.
Is this normal for those taking Seasonique!? I know a lot of women have bleeding on birth control, but I've tried three different kinds before Seasonique and never had any bleeding!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is normal with continuous bcp like Seasonique!. Usually with time it will go away, they say around 1 year!. I took Seasonele and had the same thing!. My first month of pills I was great, but middle way of the 2nd month I had the same thing and basically had my period throughout the remainder of the pack!. When I started the first month of pills again it was ease up but then it started again in the 2nd month!. I felt like I was on my period every day!!! My doctor told me that not all women can skip periods, it's just the way their body is, it needs to have a period!. I've even tried doing the same thing with low dose birth control but I still have the same problem when I try to skip a period!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
It will take awhile for your body to adjust to not having a period every month!. The discharge sounds familiar!. I finally got tired of all the BC pills and got an IUD called Mirena!. It also took a while to adjust, but after about 4 months a barely have a period at all!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Your body might adapt to the hormones and your symptoms may stop with time!.
