I've been taking Seasonale for 3 months now. I started taking the white inactive pills 4 days ago, but I haven't started my period yet! I only had sex onetime, and that was with my partner both wearing a condom and pulling out. We didn't want to take ANY chances, but now it seems like it was all for nothing.I did miss about 5 pills while I was taking the red ones, but I always doubled up the next day. We had sex WAY before I started to miss them. I read that if I missed some pills, my period could be irregular, but 4 days after I stopped shouldn't I have started? I've been having cramps, and headaches like I'm on it, but nothing other than that. Please help me... I'm scared out of my mind!

Well this is what the site said:IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: While you get the convenience of 4 periods a year, you are also more likely to have spotting and breakthrough bleeding (which varies from slight spotting to a flow much like a regular period.It seems to me that if you are only going to get 4 periods a year, maybe you are not due for one this month. Or you will get some spotting. Although, I would not make it a habit to miss some pills. You need to be more responsible. I always thought with regular birth control pills, if you have to double up more than one or two times, you should use a backup method when having sex.
