Hey everyone, I've been on Seasonique Tablets 91s for about six months now. I love having only four periods a year, but I've had some unpleasant side effects. I've experienced headaches, weight gain, and really annoying spotting. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar issues? Also, how do you deal with the spotting? I'm kind of over it. I did some research and the list of serious side effects is worrying. Has anyone experienced any of those? This would be a great place to share our experiences and support each other I'd prefer to have fewer side effects than to have a period four times a year though, so I'll give it time. Let's talk about it.

I wanted to go on an extended cycle pill, but my doctor said I was too high risk. When I asked why, she gave me the page of side effects for Seasonique and told me it wasn't worth the risk. I am kind of jealous, but I'll stick to my regular pill...

I switched from the traditional pill to seasonique (from 28 day to 91 day) due to a change in my insurance. I was nervous, but I haven't noticed any changes in my body. No spotting, no weird cramps. I don't get any of the period spots. I am SO happy. I didn't even know I could get the 91 day pill from the doctor. If you have any questions, ask me anything. I would love to help. I'm so happy. I get 12 day periods every 3 months, but it works for me. I had more than 12 day periods every month. I am happy...

I'm 4 months in on seasonique. I wish I had the spotting, because I thought that was a sign that it was working. I haven't really noticed any other side effects. My doctor said that it was a pretty safe pill. I haven't had any serious side effects. So far, so good. I have light period spots on some days, but it's fine. I think it's normal. I am happy. I don't have to deal with a period every month. I might stick with this one. I am happy...

I'm on my second pack of Seasonique and I've had no issues. Well, I get headaches, but I always did. I really don't want to deal with a period every month. I don't think you should worry about the side effects. I think the chance of any of them happening is pretty low. I mean, there's a reason that this stuff is prescribed, even with the side effects. I don't get spotting, but I get light period spots. I think that's normal. And I don't think you should worry about it. If you want the less frequent periods, you should stick with the pill...

I got spotting for the first 9 months. I think it's normal. My doctor said it is. I got light spotting and period spots. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with it because it means I don't have to deal with a period every month. I think it is worth it in the long run. I'm also on my 7th year of Seasonique. Still going strong. I haven't had any of the serious side effects. I don't think I will. I've been on it for 7 years. but if you do, you should see your doctor. Maybe you can switch to a different pill or birth control. You never know. It's worth trying. I would recommend this pill to anyone. Be sure to go in for check ups. I love the pill. No serious side effects. I think it is worth it in the long run...

I've been on Seasonique for 7 years, and I've only had headaches. No other side effects. I get period spots, but they're not bad. I love the pill, and I only get my period 4 times a year for 4 days. I don't mind the headaches. I find the pill work the best for me. I had problems with other birth control, but this one works great...

I'm on my 3rd pack and I'm having some weird cramps. It feels like a period, but I don't get spotting. I'm not sure if it's normal. I thought I was supposed to have some spotting. I haven't noticed any serious side effects. I'm not sure. I should research more. I just hope the side effects don't get worse. I don't want to deal with any serious side effects. If I don't see any improvement, I'll look into switching to a different birth control. I hope I won't need to. I really don't want to have a period every month. I hope I don't have to deal with spotting. I really don't want to deal with a period every month. Keep me updated. I'm nervous about the side effects. I hope I won't get any of the serious ones. I don't want to deal with a period every month. I don't know what else to do...
