On the pill and spotting?!?! WTF??!!

Ok, I have (had) a really bad case of PCOS and NEVER have a period unless I am on the pill. Even Provera had little effect on me. Well, to make a long story short almost 2 weeks after I had surgery I went on the pill because I KNOW my husband can't go without sex for 18 months and neither can I. IUD is out of the question (too expensive for too little time) and I have issues with condoms. So the pill was the logical pic. I spoke with my OB/GYN and he gave me Seasonale which is 12 weeks of hormones and then one week off so essentially you only have period every 3 months. Well I am almost 10 weeks out from surgery, down 58 lbs and 8 weeks into my pills and I am spotting. I am freaking out here. Is this pill not working?!? Or has my body released so many hormones (I believe it's the estrogen) that it's overriding the pills? Any advice? Kristy

Kristy, spotting is so normal once you start on any birth control pill. I am suprised your doc didn't tell you to expect this. Call their office and verify but a couple of days of spotting is pretty normal.

I have never spotted with birth control pills before and now I have been spotting for almost 2 weeks...everyday. I have had enough, I'm going to go on a monthly bcp instead of the 3 month bcp. Thanks though... Kristy 248/186/140
