User Reviews for Ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): I really like this pill. I have been on several types of birth control and this is the only one that has helped clear up my skin. I did have some spotting during the first pack of pills, but that has always been pretty typical with me. Other than that I have done well. My moods are good, body feels good, very short period, and now great skin. This is the best birth control pill I have taken and I can definitely tell it has helped with the PCOS and side effects. Also, my sex drive may have even increased which is a plus with the fiance.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): I love this medication. I have had NO break through bleeding and pain in my ovaries has gone away!

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): I am at the end of my first pack of Lo-Seasonique. I am contemplating restarting another pack. I saw no improvement..I would bleed for 3 weeks straight. So much for my sex live. On the 5th week I started a flow like a regular period which lasted for 2 weeks. I am getting the exact opposite of what the pill is indicated for; which is supposed to give you a period at the end of the pack making it 4 periods per year. Instead I have more than tripled that, if I continue taking it. Everyone is different. It might work for some and not for others. I am still bleeding and cramping. I quit, I will go back to my old birth control.

Alesse (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): This birth control pill was diagnosed for my PCOS and worked well for the first few months but then it gave me severe gallstones and I ended up having to have a gallbladder removal surgery.

Aviane (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): My periods were fine. I was ovulating, had normal blood flow, slightly heavy cramps. I started this pill for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome symptoms. While it did clear up my skin a little, it has made me borderline suicidal. Within 3 days I started hating people, crying at the drop of a hat, becoming irrationally angry, entertaining thoughts of suicide and becoming severely depressed. I would be losing weight since I have no appetite, except I'm so bloated it doesn't matter.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): Not good! I've tried regular Seasonique as well as LoSeasonique and although yes, it did get rid of my cysts after only one month, the LoSeasonique caused me to have breakthrough bleeding for almost the whole time that I took it (9 months). Some days it was as much blood as having a period and I even had cramps and nausea that I usually have when I have a period. With regular Seasonique the spotting only happened for the first pack (3 months), but still made me nauseous. But all in all, LoSeasonique's side effects of being in a period-like state for 9 months straight do NOT outweigh the benefit of helping with PCOS.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): Have been taking this for about a week now and have had severe breast tenderness and almost a burning pain. Happens about 30-40 minutes after taking pills. This stopped today and now I have a migraine- so far two days. If this continues I'm done. No spotting yet. Has helped alleviate pain in my left ovary.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel): I started this birth control six months ago. I was prescribed it for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and mild Endometrioses. It helped quite a bit with my frequent periods and cystic acne. However, I had constant spotting for the six months I was taking it. I took the pill at the same time every single night and I would still spot! I know this is common with this pill since it is supposed to give you 4 periods a year, but I couldn't take the spotting anymore. I also have absolutely no sex drive.
