Does anybody have any experience with this
birth control pill? I'm currently using
ortho tri cyclen, but am tempted by the
idea of four periods a year!
Thanks!

I switched from ortho tri cyclen lo to
seasonale, but I took it for only three
months. It didn't seem to agree with me.
I was very moody and had more headaches.
I don't know for sure if it was because
of the pill, but my doctor said a lot of
women have had trouble tolerating
seasonale. The side effects may have
gotten better if I had stayed on it a
little longer, but I decided to go back to
my original pill since I knew it worked
for me. But it sure was nice to skip my
period for three months! If this is
something you really want to do, you can
always give it a try and see how you like
it. Everyone has different reactions, so
you might end up loving it. Good luck!

I currently am taking seasonale and have
been on it for about a year and a half - I
love it! I went from ortho try cyclen and
the transition was very easy - I never had
breakthrough bleeding or any issues. The
only problem that has arisen very recently
is a few episodes of night sweats here and
there - but it's so great not getting your
period every month! I'm anemic too, so
it's been very helpful!
