Seasonal because it only gives you a
period 4 times a year but would it still
work for me even though i have had my
tubes tied, and what are the side affects

"Seasonal" is a brand of contraceptive
pills that prevent pregnancy but also
reduces the number of menstrual periods.
It seems that you don’t need any
contraceptive pills because your tubes are
tied and you can’t get pregnant. I
don’t recommend you to use Seasonale
only to have fewer periods per year.
Periods that occur during the use of
Seasonale are unpredictable and can have a
larger amount of bleeding. Other side
effects of Seasonale are same as from
other birth control pills.
