I got on this birth control because I really liked the idea of only having 4 periods a year. I have always had terribly long periods with all sorts of side effects and they'd last for over a week (I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo). When I first started LoSeasonique, I spotted very little for the first week to week and a half. I have been on it for almost 8 months now and I have never had any ... Show Full Comment

I got on this birth control because I really liked the idea of only having 4 periods a year. I have always had terribly long periods with all sorts of side effects and they'd last for over a week (I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo). When I first started LoSeasonique, I spotted very little for the first week to week and a half. I have been on it for almost 8 months now and I have never had any breakthrough bleeding. What I don't like is that when I DO get my period on LoSeasonique, it lasts for about 8 days. It is very, very light though. I'll even spot for a few days after taking the active pills again. The spotting always does completely stop, though. I have no intent to ever stop this birth control. It really works great for me.

My experience with this medication was horrible. I spotted off and on for almost a year during the "active" pills. When I took the "inactive" pills I would never get my period. I felt very moody, sad, and depressed while on this pill. Sadly, I didn't realize until after I changed pills that the LoSeasonique was what was causing me to feel that way. The constant spotting ...

I felt very moody, sad, and depressed while on this pill. Sadly, I didn't realize until after I changed pills that the LoSeasonique was what was causing me to feel that way. The constant spotting was why I ultimately changed medication, but I also was tired of just not feeling like myself. I am on a different pill now and have normal cycles and feel great.

I am on my first pack and I have been spotting for the first 2 months, almost every single day... What is the point of having your period every 3 months if you spot every day!? Considering a new method because this is too high maintenance!

I have had very poor experiences with Bc in the past. Found out I'm very sensitive to the high hormones meds. My doctor put me on the once a month lodose Bc and I was very happy with it. When I found out about the same med for 3 months at a time I was more than willing. I had some spotting for the first pack and some Pms symptoms around when I would have stopped before. After that my peri ... Show Full Comment

After that my periods are light and only a few days when they're supposed to happen. I love it. Very happy. It's not for everyone but you need to find what combo works for your body. Oh there's also a generic now. Yeah!

I have been on LoSeasonique for 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. I have lost 25-30 pounds since I started taking it, have only had two periods in the last six months, and no evident side effects. The ONLY downside for me is that it is so expensive! For one three-month pack it is $188 at my pharmacy, but when I started taking it there was a discount card given to me by my gyno, which made SI ... Show Full Comment

For one three-month pack it is $188 at my pharmacy, but when I started taking it there was a discount card given to me by my gyno, which made SIX months around $80! Talk about disappointing when I found out they discontinued the discount card! I have never had such a great BC before, I think I'll just have to shell out the cash!
