"I have been on bc since I was 17. I first had nuvaring for 4 years and then I heard about seasonique and was excited about having only 4 periods a year the first month (January 2015) was perfect no spotting no weight gain no period. half way into February I started spotting and thought ok this may be normal after two days the spotting stopped... it returned four days later and I continued to spot up until the end of March when it was time for my period! I started a new pack and everything went smoothly no spotting until the week before my scheduled period. started a new pack in july and everything was ok. I started spotting really heavy on July 31st and my period isn't supposed to come until the END of September..should have stayed on nuvaring"

"I just started this because I’ve been getting my period about twice a month. Hoping it will regulate. I started it the Sunday before last and I feel like I’m experiencing symptoms. I wasn’t expecting this at all, so hopefully it will work. If I get it now this will be twice In a month."

"I got my tubes tied and couldn't deal with the frequent, long and heavy periods that ensued so I went on Seasonique to achieve lighter, less frequent periods. I've had some spotting here and there (particularly after intercourse), but my main issue with this pill is that it gives me constant heart palpitations. I went through a series of tests with a cardiologist and everything was fine, except they did confirm pretty constant "skipped" beats. It's more annoying than anything. Monthly pills give me migraines and no pill at all is what got me here in the first place. I am at my whit's end."

"I've been taken Seasonique for two years. Overall, I'd say that I love it - its nice not having to worry about a period every month. However, there are some side effects. I have noticed my personality has changed tremendously. I no longer get enthused about things, butterflies in my tummy don't exist for anything. I get really nervous and paranoid as well, and it started after I started taking Seasonique. My hair has also thinned out SLIGHTLY and not very noticabley around the deep end of my part, but its really not a big deal. My periods dont start until the 4-5 sugar pill though! it's great! However, I'm switching to Sprintec because I'm sexually active and waiting for 2 months to find out if you're pregnant doesn't enthuse me very much."

"I started this birth control 2 weeks after my period ended as that’s just how it timed out and the dr said it would be fine and I shouldn’t have another period. I started my period again literally the 3rd day of the pill and I haven’t stopped. This has been one of the most painful periods of my life! I have been passing clots the entire time and at about 2 weeks of bleeding I thought it was going to be the end of me with all this pain and then passed a decidual clot! The scariest thing I’ve ever seen. My doctor asked me to keep taking it and said I should stop bleeding after the decidual clot. I continued to bleed and pass more clots (HOW!?) and my doctor finally said to stop taking it. I’m now at day 5 since quitting and still bleeding, cramping, passing clots. Not to mention this made me PMDD over the top, I was suicidal, I sabotaged my living arrangements and long time friendships and nearly tanked my job. I’ve been living in a nightmare for a month."

"I started Seasonique because I had heavy periods that lasted 7 days and got worse after I had my daughter. I started bleeding, just spotting and didn't really think much of it. My midwife told me to continue and it should last long. I am now on day 20 of bleeding and it's been like a normal period with lots of cramping. I will be discontinuing today as I can't take the side effects anymore!!"

"Seasonique was the second pill I tried after having break through bleeding issues with the first. I take it for protection and because my regular periods are horrible. I’m about to finish my first pack and so far it’s not been good. I first has breakthrough bleeding around the time I would’ve normally gotten my period if I weren’t on the pill. The bleeding was pretty close to what my period would be like and it stopped after 5-7 days. This happened again after a month, right when I’d get my period again. It started out as spotting that I only really needed a pantie liner for (and I was warned about spotting by my doctor). After a few days I needed a pad. It’s been that was ever since. I’ve been bleeding non stop for a month and one week now. I’m currently taking antibiotics to try to stop the bleeding, as recommended by my doctor. It’s honestly torture. The cramps never go away, I’ve gone through so many menstrual products, and it’s just overall really stressful."

"I have been on Seasonique for 1 year and ever since the beginning I can't stop bleeding. This last cycle has been 28 days of straight heavy bleeding. I would rather be pregnant again."

"Since I started using Seasonique 3 weeks ago, I haven't stopped spotting. Today my face was so bloated and I had really bad stomach cramps."

"Been taking the pill for at least 10 years and was wonderful. However for the past year, I have noticed that even though I am taking it, my period is starting to come every 21-30 no matter what. I do not miss because I do not want the cycles at all and my menstrual periods were heavy, clotty and painful. I don't understand why it is doing this. I will stop the pill for about two or three months to see what happens. I feel that if I am taking the pill and still having my periods, what is the point. I will see. I will make an appt with my OBGYN and see what she says. Wow!"
