Hello! Are you still taking seasonale??
How is it working for you?? I've been on
them for 4 weeks now. I'm getting ready
to start week 5.
Have you had any breakthrough bleeding??
Or any other side effects? So far
everthing is great but I guess its just
wait and see since this is a new pill.

I recently saw the commercial for that
pill and it says you are only going to
have a period 4 times a year. They never
said how long each of those were!!
Anyway I like my depo, haven't had a
period since I have been on it!! If you
can handle hormones maybe that is
something you should look into. Then
again if you bleed like that on the
pill..... Anyway it might be because it
is too many hormones for some people and I
have hypothyroidism so maybe my hormones
are lower and can handle a little extra in
my system.

Hey this is a really random question but I
am very self conscious about my chest. I
noticed on the otrthotricylcen my boobs
grew a bit and I am considering the
seasonale but I dont want to shrink. Has
any one on the seasonale gone up in cup
size at all. Please let me know, I know I
am being superficial but what can I say, I
am self conscious. Oh yeah and if any one
has experienced this with the patch,
orthonovum or ortho-cyclen I am also
considering switching to those so let me
know how those affect breast size. Thanx
a lot.

I have been on seasonale for 3 months
& really like it. I have read
through some of the posts and I think that
I can address some of the questions out
there.
Pms time-span:
on my old pill (ortho-novum 1/35) I
started my pms 10-12 days like clock-work
before my period. So, I don't think it's
abnormal. I was on that pill for 8
years. I haven't had my first period yet
with seasonale but it'll be here in 2-3
weeks. We'll see what happens then.
Break-thru bleeding:
I had only one break through bleeding
event in the first month when I would
normally have had my period & it only
lasted 1 day. I was warned quite
extensively that it was common to get
& that it happened a lot with some
women...But no problems here.
Chest size : I have noticed no difference
at all & I didn't really expect to.

Problems With Seasonale
Posted: 07-24-04 16:25pm
|
|
|

|
Hi everyone, I have been taking seasonale
for a month and a half now, felt fine
until I was suppose to get my period, I
got really bad pms and cramps. Then I
stated spotting and it went to light
bleed then this been going on for 3 weeks
I still get little cramps but not as bad
as when it first happen. I ask a doctor
about this she said it going to last for
about 6 months. I not sure if I should
give up on the pills or go see another
doctor about this, it said it the pamphlet
this should not last for more then 7 days.
I am really disoriented cause I hate
having my period, and there is no other
way to stop, no doctor would give me
hysterectomy, and that how much hate
having my period. Any advice

Seasonale

Hello, I have been on seasonale for 3
months. I have had no break through
bleeding whats so ever. I really like
this pill. The only negative thing I have
to say is that i'm more moody. My
husband noticed this also. My twin sister
is also on seasonale she's had a couple of
break through bleeding episodes. She
started taking seasonale a week after I
did. The break through might be because
she forgot to take a couple of pills.

Pms

I wrote a few days ago and now the pms has
kicked in...I've since read two recent
postings after mine & thought i'd post
again. My boyfriend also noticed that I
was un-naturally moody within the first or
second month when I would have normally
gotten my period. Also, my pms symptoms
have started an extra 2-3 days before they
would have on the old pill. I could have
counted like clockwork 10-12 days before
my period on my old pill my pms symptoms.
With seasonale I have started to get my
pms symptoms a good 14-16 days in advance,
maybe this is because with seasonale I
haven't had a period in twice as
long...But it kinda sucks. All of my pms
symptoms seemed to be a bit more
heightened. Anyway, I was a very light
bleeder on my old pill so we'll see how I
do in 14 days (i'm counting down) when I
get the actual period.

Seasonale!

I'm glad i'm not the only one that is
having weird moods. I'm starting to feel
like a whole different person. I'm
usually a really happy easy to get along
with person. I have a hyper 7 year old
boy and I noticed that I get upset with
him alot lately. I used to just say he's
only being a normal 7 year old but now its
like the littlest thing sets me off and I
yell at him.
Maybe when I start my new pack my body
will be used to them and the moodiness
will go away.
Besides the moodiness, I just love these
pills. No period, how great!!!! I
still have 3 weeks before I start my
period. Hopefully it will not be real
bad since I haven't had a period in a few
months. I'm a little worried that it
will be super heavy. I guess its wait
and see. If anyone has had a period
after taking seasonale let me know how bad
it was.

i was a little moody in the beginning too
but it went away.I had separate days of
breakthrough bleeding. Cause I forgot to
take pill in morining and took it at nite.
I had bad headache for day and 1.2 at
end of 3rd month too , im not sure if it
was the seasonale that caused it.
Other then that I love this pill. But
it was expensive when I went to pickit
up!!

robin,
wow  $102 seems so
high. I have cigna insurance and they pay
alot of it. I already paid my yearly
deductible of $50 for all perscriptions
for a year. I'm so glad insurance covers
it. I know I have heard of people say
that there insurance won't pay for
seasonale.

more. Thankly for rx plan im probally
getting a little cheaper. I guess theres
no generic. My first pack was a sample
too thank god! I told my b.F every other
day he has to give me a dollar and I ll
put in dollar everyother day so at end of
3 months I dont have to lay out the money
I will already have it!
