Re: Anyone on continuous BC, and get a bad period every 3 months automatically?

Christen, I've had similar experiences. After my first and only lap, they put me on the DepoProvera shot and I spotted for an entire summer (about 2 three-month shot cycles) before I said enough was enough. The latest thing I'm on is Seasonale, the three months on, one week off, pill pack. I've been minor spotting for the last week and, about once a month, the flow gets quite heavy like a very light period. On top of being horrible, it gets really disheartening because you think you're doing the right thing by trying to take care of the endo, but it doesn't feel that way when you're still buying pads and tampons in bulk. - Erica
