OK - is it common to have pain and cramping when you experience breakthrough bleeding?

I'm in week 7 of Seasonique and experiencing dark brown breakthrough bleeding with cramps on my left side. I was put on the pill for endometriosis and an ovarian cyst on my left ovary. Could the cyst still be there and that's the source of the pain? Or, can it actually FEEL like a period not just LOOK like a period? I'm very confused! :confused:

I had some cramps with breakthrough bleeding when i was still on the pill. I didn't really think too much of it because it happened a few times and the doctor kept telling me it was a side effect of the pill.

Some great med! Making a woman bleed when she's technically not supposed to! Gee, where can I sign up!! :rolleyes:

Thanks, Kszan. Seriously. It stinks. Now I'm passing strings of brown fibrous tissue when I go to the bathroom and I'm just getting really FED UP!
