His and Her Health

Has anyone stopped using the birth control patch and experienced heavy bleeding as well as clotting? I just removed the patch last week, due to bad reactions, and per my GYN, I'm starting the new Seasonale pill this Sunday. I had breakthrough bleeding within a couple of days of removing the patch, and it's been quite bad ever since. I've never had heavy periods or clotting, even when I was not on any type of birth control, but this is just awful. I know that this will subside over time once I get acclimated to the Seasonale, but I was just wondering if anyone else has or is experiencing this same problem.
