Has anyone tried Seasonale birth control pills? I want to skip periods for a while!
I've been considering switching to Seasonale, an extended-cycle birth control pill. It seems like a great way to reduce the frequency of periods. I want to hear from people who have tried it. What were the ups and downs for you? I want to know about the reduction in periods, also what side effects I might experience. Any tips for managing these side effects are welcome. Also, is it hard to get a prescription? Did you have to see a specialist? My doctor has not heard of it, so I am seeking alternative doctors for this.

I tried Seasonale and had to stop after a few months because of severe headaches. I would be interested to hear from women who got these headaches. What did you do and how did you get over these headaches?
I've heard mixed reviews about Seasonale. Is it really worth trying out or just a bunch of hype?
It is great that you are looking for options. I know some women who have had great success with Seasonale. But it might be hard to get a prescription because it is not as commonly prescribed as some other pills, so you might have to go to a specialist to get a prescription. But that is just what I have experienced.
I've been on Seasonale for a while and it's been great. The extended cycle has been a lifesaver for me. I have only experienced minor side effects, and nothing that has been too difficult to manage. Just be prepared to look at your pill pack and realize that it was written in a different language.
I've been on Seasonale for a year now and love it! No more monthly periods mean fewer PMS symptoms and I am a happier person. I had some spotting in the beginning, but it went away. Just be prepared for that if it happens to you. My doctor was super helpful with tips for managing any side effects. But honestly, I haven't had any major issues. Get your doctor to go online and read your doctor will be happy to not have to prescribe a monthly prescription.
I was on Seasonale for a year and loved it! The only thing I hated was the pill pack. I totally agree.. I think it was designed by a stranger. But I loved how easy it was. Although I did have some mood swings, I think it was worth it. But be prepared, you may want to pack a bag for your trip to the pharmacy.
I'm on my second pack of Seasonale and so far, so good! I haven't had any major side effects, though I did have some spotting at first. I just want to share this because I think it is important that everyone knows that it can take a while to adjust.
I'm curious about the long-term effects of Seasonale. Has anyone been on it for more than a year?
I tried Seasonale and hated it. The spotting was terrible, and I had really bad headaches. But I am sure it is a good drug for some people. But I did not think it was worth it to deal with those side effects for me.
I switched from the regular pill to Seasonale and it's been a game-changer. But it took some time to adjust to the longer cycle. It took a month or two to adjust. The side effects were not fun. But do not be afraid to try it. Just be prepared for some spotting initially, and maybe some other minor side effects like headaches. But as long as you stay on top of them, you will be fine.
