User Reviews for LoSeasonique

I really like this birth control pill. Has made a huge difference in my skin over the past few months. I have been on several different types of birth control pills in the past 11 years and these are definitely the best I have taken. I did experience some spotting/break through bleeding during the first pack, but the benefits overshadowed that by far. I have had shorter periods, less pain, great skin, good moods, and increased sex drive.

So far so good on this medicine, I have tried just about every birth control pill out there, the only (and most annoying) side effects I have had so far are: breaking out really bad, there are waves of breakouts (mostly on my chin) that I have never had before, I am hoping that will subside. Also I have been more easily emotional about things, like if something is sad, I am more likely to cry about it than I would before. Hope this helps people out there wanting to try this, beware of any acne that may arise!

I started using LoSeasonique a little over a week ago, mainly for irregular periods and the periodical ovarian cysts. I started my period on a Friday, and started taking the pill on the following Sunday. I did not take the pill right away, because I heard that if you begin taking the pill after the first day of a period, you will have lots of spotting. Anyway, my period stopped that sunday, and I have not had any spotting since. It has been exactly one week and I haven't experienced any cramps, bleeding, bloating or anything uncomfortable. I take it at 3 pm everyday, and usually take it with a whole glass of water so I wont experience any headaches. I really like this pill so far, and hope that I can continue.

My GYN put me on LoSeasonique because they were out of regular Seasonique that I normally take. I've been on it for three and a half weeks, yesterday I started very little spotting and today it was just a little heavy, enough that I have to wear a liner. Other than that I have not experienced any other side effects so far. I will admit some of the reviews on here have me a little skeptical.

I switched to LoSeasonique after taking LoEstrin24 for about a year because I was still getting extreme side effects from my periods (passing out, couldn't get out of bed, etc) and stopped taking it after the first month and a half because by skin was breaking out really bad. This past month was my first month being off birth control in about 3 or 4 years and it was horrible! I started a new pack of LoSeasonique this afternoon to see if my skin will react any differently and if I do end up breaking out again, I will switch back to Loestrin.

This medicine made me have terrible uterine bleeding for 75 days in a row accompanied by terrible uterine pain. It's been a full week since I stopped the medicines and the bleeding and pain have both stopped. My cysts have shrunk to half their size, but I'm not sure if the cysts were ever a problem to begin with.
