HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Seasonique is an oral contraceptive that combines ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel.
These are hormones that are commonly used in oral contraceptives.
Most of these combined pills can be associated with a risk of breakthrough bleeding , this refers to bleeding that can occur between the periods.
In many cases, the bleeding decreases as the body becomes used to the medication so you can consider monitoring for now.
Bloating is also a noted possible side effect.
I hope this helps
