Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to have a major breakout from taking a birth control pill for 1 day? I took quasense (Seasonale) Sunday night and woke up every hour with severe nausea which lasted throughout the day. Then had stomach pain for the next whole day. Now it's Wednesday and my skin is getting worse and worse with painful cysts all over my face. I've always struggled with acne and am thinking of going on accutane ( I've been in doxycycline for two years but I am slowly getting off it now. ) I'm so upset!

Thank you!

i wouldn't think that taking just 1 pill would have effected you so much but it seems like it has!!!! seasonique has levonorgestrel as the progestin and it's androgenic, so the acne is definitely from that! i would change your pill to one with less androgenic activity
