I have almost finished taking this birth control for the 2nd month. I have been break through bleeding for the past 2 weeks. I'm switching to something else. I can't handle this.

I had used Seasonique for several years before switching to Amethia about 6 weeks ago. I have experienced the break-through bleeding that others have mentioned, but mine has been has been minimal.

Though I have not experienced alot of headaches, I did have 1 migraine (mild, thankfully) for about a day and a half. I have used Seaonique for several years without and problems. I have had almost daily spotting/bleeding off and on the last 6 weeks of my packet, I will not be using it again!
