LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I went on LoSeasonique hoping to stop my period and in return have had an endless one. The first week I started the pack, I started my regular period. Week 2 and 3 I had spotting that did not need a pantyliner, okay I could handle "spotting". Weeks 4 and 5 I had to wear panty liners. Week 6 possibly my regular period as I had to wear tampons the flow was heavier. Week 7 still flowing pretty good and wearing tampons. Week 8 I am still very heavy. I have called Gyn and I will be going to Doctor today. So much for my dreams of not having a period. Sex life has been totally on halt due to this as well.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Ovarian Cysts: 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.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: My previous birth control worked wonderfully, beautiful skin and I did not get pregnant. However, my PMS became difficult to deal with, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. My doctor suggested I try LoSeasonique to avoid the PMS. I must say I was very scared because of all the negative reviews I found on the internet. I am happy to say it has been eights weeks and I am symptom free, no spotting, and best of all no PMS. One important thing I do is to stick to my 10 pm schedule everyday. I noticed they stressed this in the pamphlet, which made me concerned things might go wrong if I did not follow. Overall I am very pleased especially since I have not taken any pain killers the entire time. Hope this helps.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I am on my second, three month pack of LoSeasonique and I am seriously contemplating stopping the birth control. My first three month pack, around week six I started bleeding. This lasted about a week and I thought my body was adjusting. Since then my face has broken out - I have never had acne problems. I am now on week four of my second cycle of pills, and I am now bleeding lightly again. I am experiencing the worst cramps I have ever had in my life. All I do is sleep, and I am still exhausted all the time. I can't even get myself to do normal activities like grocery shopping.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I was put on this pill to help out with my crazy emotions that I get about a week before my period. I almost done with my first 3 month dose and I have found that I have a big increase in my appetite. I have been experiencing more severe migrains and I get dizzy/lightheaded for a couple of minutes quite often. My skin has been breaking out with little pimples that are coverable but I can feel them and have never been there before. I have been on a variety of pills and this one has seemed to give me the most side effects. Since I have been on this pill I find myself getting extremely emotional about little things.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been on LoSeasonique for 2 months now. I'm experiencing hair loss, increased appetite, and severe migraines! My face is breaking out and extremely dry, and I've been having bleeding on and off for up to 7 days consecutively. This birth control is absolutely not worth taking in my opinion!

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I'm going on my 3rd week of LoSeasonique and have been bleeding ever since I started. Just when I think it's going to stop, it's starts heavier again. I do get a little dizzy, but I'm hoping it's just my body getting used to the hormones and I'll stabilize soon. No skin problems, and I feel I'm less emotional than with another pill I had tried.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: When I first started LoSeasonique, I had light spotting within a week that only lasted four days. Now I have finished my first three packs and didn't get my period when taking the yellow pills. I am now 1 1/2 weeks into the next batch and still no spotting or anything! I Think I should get a preagnancy test just to be sure but If Im not preagnant Then this is the best Pill ever!!! So far I have not had any other side effects that many have had.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Lo-Seasonique is a good birth control, and awesome to not have a period for 3 months. I had stopped taking birth control for a year because of migraines, they improved and then worsened again. MD put me on Lo-Seasonique. Initially I had breakthrough bleeding, had never had problems before. I read up on it, and to all of you that have problems, change the time you are taking the pill and take it with/after food and/or something acidic (orange juice). The reason for a lot of breakthrough is high estrogen not being absorbed. Otherwise I have had minor cramping periodically if I miss ONE pill. I do notice a drop in sex drive, and just heavy feeling. But minor changes. Otherwise now almost a year on it, it's awesome.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I'm taking Loseasonique birth control pills...still on the first pack. I'm half way through the first pack that is for 3 months. Everything is normal for me but I've been bleeding lightly or should I say spotting for just about a month now. I have a week and a month before I finish with this pack. Just ready for the spotting to stop, but other than that I have no other problems or symptoms.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Endometriosis: I've been on LoSeasonique for 2 sets (6 months). I've seen no weight gain, no changes in my skin, and my hair is as thick as ever. I like it, I went off of LoEstrin because I had bad cramps that got worse when I went off it for a year, and pelvic pain (caused by cysts). SO, this birth control certainly assisted with alleviating these issues. It's helpful though to exercise regularly I think. I've had spotting but its nothing compared to my normal heavy periods. I am questioning what other benefits this pill may hold over others.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: When my OBGYN switched my birth control pill to LoSeasonique in an attempt to relieve my severe cramps and menstrual migraines I was hopeful. During my 3 month trial, I found that the severity of my migraines intensified and spotting was equal to that of a light period. I understand that spotting may occur and should decrease over time; however I was forced to wear a panty liner every day (sometimes 2/day!) for 3 months. I am no longer taking LoSeasonique.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Endometriosis: I started this pill in September 2010, to help treat ovarian cysts and endometriosis. The first week I had nausea and tender breasts, but it went away after that. I had a lot of spotting/bleeding on and off for 2 or 3 weeks at a time for 4 months. It was annoying but better than the awful agony I used to go through every month so I decided to keep taking it, as my doctor told me that spotting/bleeding is very common with this low of a dose of pill, and that some people needed 3 months to a year for your body to adjust. Well, finally after 6 months it was worth the wait because, no more spotting/bleeding and best I have better energy/vitality/ and quality of life having control over my horrible periods. It has changed my life!

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I've been taking LoSeasonique for a little under a month. Not enough to do a thorough review, but so far so good. I'm almost done the first pack so I will see if I get any breakthrough bleeding.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: 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) for Birth Control: After about a week on this birth control I started to get awful acne and had to stop taking it after two weeks. According to my doctor, a side effect for some people is worsening complexion. It also made it very difficult to sleep and wake up in the morning. All of these side effects stopped a few days after I was taken off the pills.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Starting off with my condition before LoSeasonique... I had heavy periods, by the time I turned 20 my cramps were so bad that I had to rest a day and apply a heat pack. My skin was always breaking out and it was only worse in the summer. I went to my doctor and he offered me three options: herb supplements, hormone pills or BC pills. I chose the last one. I'm not sexually active but college worries me so I figured better be safe than sorry. After starting it, my skin was clearing up, my periods are still existing but are so light that I usually don't have to wear anything and my cramps are very mild. The only thing I recently experienced was 2 week period and some spotting, but as I said, it was very light. I'm glad I chose option three

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Ovarian Cysts: 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!

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel): I finished my first complete cycle (3 months)...I AM EXPERIENCING SEVERE HAIR LOSS...it's coming out from the back of my scalp...I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING MORE FREQUENT AND SEVERE MIGRAINES! Talked to my doctor and he agrees that these symptoms are probably a result of the LoSeasonique so he prescribed LoEstrin24. Hope it does the trick.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Love this birth control. I hate having a period every month. The first cycle of pills I had a lot of spotting. The second pack very little spotting. Will be a year in a month and I'm very happy I have none of the side effects I have been reading about so far. Very little spotting. Yay, for 4 periods a year!!!

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I have finished a 3- month pack for the purpose of reducing heavy bleeding probably caused by fibroids. The breakthrough bleeding never stopped. The package insert says this symptom occurs in 10% of the patients. Pros: more energy because I have fewer heavy periods. Cons: Still have abdominal pain once in 3 months during period, and have small amount of bleeding every day. I haven't decided whether to continue for another 3 months or seek a different treatment.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I am on my first three month pack I started taking them to have fewer periods. During week 5 I started spotting if thats what you'll call it and I am on week six and still spotting. If I had known I would be having an endless period I would have never stared taking them considering my periods were short anyway. On the plus side my skin does look a little better. If this doesnt get better by the time I am finished with this pack I dont think I'm going to start another pack.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: I'm on my second pack of LoSeasonique, about five or six weeks away from my first "real" period on this BC. For the past few days I've been experiencing brownish discharge (from blood) and moderate cramping. Other than that, no complaints really. The pill didn't clear up my skin but neither did my other one. I really hope this cramping stops now though, it's very painful. Enough that I can't go out much. I've heard that it gets better once your body has adjusted but I don't know how long that will take.

LoSeasonique (ethinyl estradiol/ levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I have read so many comments on this birth control. I was on Seasonique (Doctor recommended for endometriosis) before LOSeasonique, because when I went to my doctors office and asked for samples (due to insurance changes) they were out of Seasonique, and only had Loseasonique. I asked the nurse if they were any different in dosage (wondering if I'd have more chances at getting pregnant) and she said they were about the same. LoSeasonique is my 5th pack already... and well I can say that it's helped me a lot when it comes to preventing pregnancy. Every 3 months I have had a super light period for over a year now. I have never really broke out only with stress... I just hate that I gained weight, have normally low grade fevers and cant sleep at night.
