I need help, im racking my brain. I took Seasonale for a few years and I recently stopped midpack ( I went on vacation and the bag was lost) I was 8 weeks in o a 13 week pill pack. I bled for four days following stopping that pill. Does that count as a period? Or just a breakthrough bleed? We are trying or a baby but Im araid at our age (35 and 46) we are too late in lie. I don't know when I should test, if I should even test? I am having symptoms- sore breasts, nausea, weight gain and exhaustion but I heard those can be side effects of coming of the pill.
