Bled for 6 months while doc said give it time. Finally over the bleeding, cramps, little to no sex drive and dryness.

Simply awful experience for me. Uncontrollable, and heavy bleeding with the "delightful" addition of severe cramps. This happened almost right away after taking this pill. I tried to tough it out as best as I could in hope that it would eventually adjust to my body. I have never had a similar problem on any other birth control pill. After about a month of debilitating pain, and blood los ... Show Full Comment

I tried to tough it out as best as I could in hope that it would eventually adjust to my body. I have never had a similar problem on any other birth control pill. After about a month of debilitating pain, and blood loss. I had to stop taking it, and go back on my old medication. -5 stars, would not recommend, or ever go through again.

I was on Seasonique for about 5 years before stopping to get pregnant. I had no side effects during that time and loved only getting a period every 3 months. After pregnancy and taking Micronor while breastfeeding, I started Seasonique again about 6 weeks ago. I don't know if my body is still adjusting to it, but I have the worst cystic acne I've ever had in my life. I've always ha ... Show Full Comment

After pregnancy and taking Micronor while breastfeeding, I started Seasonique again about 6 weeks ago. I don't know if my body is still adjusting to it, but I have the worst cystic acne I've ever had in my life. I've always had bad skin, but it was actually best during pregnancy and Micronor (which I know is opposite most people). When I started Seasonique again, it's like I just made my skin mad. I'm going to finish out the pack to see if it gets better, but I'm considering going back to Micronor. I would rather get a period every month than stress out over my skin every day. On the upside - it worked very well for the first 5 years.

?it so far. Yes, I've had breakthrough bleeding; but nothing I cannot deal with. One persons side effects should not sway your decision. I've had severe migraines since the age of 10, I'm sure age is a factor also, but I have not had more or any worse headaches. I've not had weight gain or mood swings. I believe each individual is different & some may benefit from this medicati ... Show Full Comment

After trying a few different oral birth control options, this is without a doubt the one I will be sticking with. I hesitated at first, daunted at the idea of only having a period every three months. However after developing horrible cystic acne on Junel, I finally made the switch. Within two weeks my cystic acne became much less severe, and a few months later I now have no new breakouts.

After trying a few different oral birth control options, this is without a doubt the one I will be sticking with. I hesitated at first, daunted at the idea of only having a period every three months. However after developing horrible cystic acne on Junel, I finally made the switch. Within two weeks my cystic acne became much less severe, and a few months later I now have no new breakouts. My periods are light accompanied with some cramping, but I've always had moderately painful periods. I've experienced zero side effects other than some minimal breast tenderness, it's been wonderful.
