Default Seasonale/Jolessa

Hello-
I've started taking Jolessa (generic version of Seasonale) and the only side effect I have noticed is breakthrough bleeding. However, it's very annoying---I have two weeks left on this cycle (AF due early June) and have been bleeding for 2 weeks already.

I take the pill around 6pm. The bleeding starts around 6am every morning, stops by 5pm in the evening and starts up again the next day. I only need a pantiliner, so it's not a lot of blood, but still....I want to be on BCP, and I like the idea of only getting 4 AF/yr, since I get migraines with AF. I guess I'd rather wear a pantiliner for every third month, rather than get 13 migraines/yr.

Has anyone else taken this pill and had this side effect? If so, did you have breakthrough bleeding every cycle or only the first one or two? Did it follow a pattern (point in cycle when bleeding started, time of day of bleeding?)
