I take Synthroid and Zoloft and my endocrinologist thinks Quasense is messing with my absorbtion of my synthroid. Has anyone else had that problem? Also I have had fatigue, insomnia, no cramps the 1st 2 months and now on the 3rd month horrible cramps and 2 weeks of bleeding.

I've been on Quasense for about 6-7 weeks. I know they say to stick it out for 2-3 months. But between the constant bleeding and cramps I don't want to be on it anymore. I don't even use it for birth control, I just didn't want my period so often. I go on vacation in 10 days, if I stopped taking it now how long might my period last? Remember I've only been on it for about 6 weeks. ## There's really no definitive way to say, it can vary from person to person and depend on your body's reaction to the hormones in it. The withdrawal bleeding could last a week, or so. Have you consulted your doctor?
