What Causes Breakthrough Bleeding Headaches And Night Sweats After Taking Seasonique?

Hi, I have had severe fatigue for the past two months. I literally can sleep the whole day and into the next day without getting up at all. I am on seasonique birth control and the past month I have had breakthrough bleeding that lasts about 7-10 days. It is very heavy. I also have had this constant pain in my lower right side of my back that goes through my buttocks to my upper backside of my right thigh. I am constantly nauseous and I can t keep whatever I eat down. Sometimes I can but it is rare. My ankles, knees and hands are so stiff. When I do wake up my hands take about thirty minutes to be able to fully open up. The othe r strange thing is that my left hand will go completely numb and tin boy as well as my ankle. I have been having headaches lately, not migraines but I was one that never got headaches. My whole body is weak, I am having hot flashes, I start sweating out of nowhere and it is the kind of sweating where my hair is dripping and it is running downs my face. I have never been one to sweat. I am only 33. I was getting bad night sweats but those have gotten better. I had blood drawn because I have hypothyroidism and my tsh levels came back perfect. About two months ago I got so swollen out of nowhere (I looked like I put 30 pounds on overnight) that slowly went down but I am a little heavier than normal which is odd since I am not eating as regularly as normal. I am nervous because about seven years ago I had my pap done and it was abnormal. They did a biopsy and then it came back with precancerous cells. I had to have a LEEP procedure. I am overdue for my pap and I have an appointment for July16th. Should I go to urgent care? Am I being paranoid? I just know that the way I feel is not normal. I am even nodding out trying to write this and I just woke up an hour ago,

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

Seasonique is a contraceptive combination medicine Estrogen and Progestin. The side effect can cause unscheduled (breakthrough) bleeding and spotting sometime. If bleeding persists you should check other causes of abnormal bleeding. See a doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General & Family Physician
