Ladies, anyone switch from "regular" BCP to Seasonale?

[luvwinnie]

I've taken two packs of pills continuously for a few years to cut down on menstrual migraines and because I have endometriosis,so dr. gave me Seasonale last night. Anyone else here on it?

I'm on it and have been since it first came out...love, love, love it. I won't go back to regular BCP's unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks! Good to hear.

Love it and I have no side effects... it's wonderful!

Well, just found out it will cost me four times more than my old BCP, so maybe I'll stick with them.

Is this the bc that you only have three or four cycles a year? I was considering it but dh had the big V so really no need for it (only to stop my cycles). Is it worth it? How long did it take for your cycles to stop?

Yes, you only have 4 cycles a year....mine stopped immediately as long as you continue to take the pills.

Seasonale is one of my favorite things! Seriously, on my list of things I love the most, it is right up there.

4 periods a year - each only 2 days long, no cramps, lightest periods ever. Love them, love them love them.

Great for vacations, plus I use a box of tampons a year!

I pay $30 a three month supply, but I would pay any price.

I've been on it for a year, after being on monthly bc pills for years. I just saw my ob-gyn last month and all is going well.

I have had a little spotting now and then, though the dr. said that was OK. I don't have any other side effects. My periods are very short and light!
