output: hi I have read your complaints seasonique is an extended cycle birth control pill where period occurs once every third month the pills are active pills and remainder pills periods will occur when you are taking the reminder pills it seems likely that you are taking reminder pills which lead to periods could be of longer duration when on seasonique breakthrough bleeding is also common in the first three months of usage the body takes time to adapt and it could also be because of that please consult your doctor if bleeding is persistent or heavy the big blob that you have mentioned it would have been better had you mentioned the size nevertheless I hope that you did not miss any dose in between missing dose increases the chance of pregnancy if you did miss a dose please get an ultrasound done to rule out if an abortion occured you could also get your hemoglobin level tested as this could cause persistent bleeding if your hemoglobin is low you need to get that corrected first if all investigations are normal and still the bleeding is causing discomfort you could stop using seasonique and choose some other method of birth control I hope this helps
