Switching from Junel to Seasonique
Hello everyone,
I've been on Junel the past few years to help with my awful periods, and it was working well until about half a year ago when my periods started getting really bad again. My gyno recommended switching me on to Seasonique to reduce the number of periods I have, but I've had breakthrough bleeding and cramps for the past week and a half after starting the pack about 2 months ago.
I looked through the Seasonique tag a bit and saw that this tends to be a common issue with this type of birth control. Does it tend to get better over time? The pain/bleeding hasn't been as bad as a regular period but being in constant pain hasn't been fun. If this is something that just tends to be a common side effect with Seasonique, are there any other brands I should look into switching to?
Thank you so much!
