This may be TMI but here goes: I have polycystic ovaries which means that I constantly have cysts form and rupture on my ovaries. After an ER visit, I went to see a gynecologist who told me that the best way to control it was to put me on birth control to prevent my body from having a "real" period. I asked her to put me on Seasonale because 4 times a year sounded too good to be true. Turns out it was. I was told that during the first few months light bleeding or spotting was normal. Except that mine lasted for 18 continuous days and was so heavy that I was sent back to the hospital for an anemia test because I was losing so much blood.

wow
