So I *think* you would still have a real period.

That's just how I always understood it.
No, agzg is right. It's withdrawal bleeding from not taking the hormones. That's why you can keep on taking the Pill without the placebo week without bleeding.

I never took Seasonique or Seasonale, but I did take the Pill straight without a placebo, a few months at a time, for a few years. I was never worried about pregnancy because it was never my only form of BC.
