"This birth-control is the worst! If you were OK with having consistent bleeding for over a month, then this is for you. If not, try something else because this is not worth it. I am now on week eight and still bleeding/spotting. I wish I would’ve read the reviews before starting this prescription. I hate it. If I could rate it a zero, I would."

"I started the Seasonal Pill because the heavy bleeding caused me to become very anemic to the place I had to get iron infusions. It does make me crave everything, my sex drive is going down a little and I have been bleeding for a while. It went from using a pantie liner to using pads and I'm not even thru my thrid pack of pills. Not sure If I can handle the bleeding like this. And lets's not mention the cramps. I have never in my life had cramps like this like someone is on the inside of me scraping out my inside. I don't think I can hang."

"I have been taking Seasonale for 2 months and I had to stop on month 3. The side effects were awful! I had night sweats, waking up at 4 am every morning for no reason, lots of spotting, huge appetite with weight gain and severe depression and anxiety. The depression and anxiety was the worst! I do suffer from depression and anxiety but it's not as bad as this medication made it! I stopped taking it and about 4 days later I felt so much better. Now I'm having a cycle and its been over a week now and hoping it will end sometime soon."

"I have been on Seasonale for over a year now, and it is the only birth control that has actually worked for me, after going through 6 other brands. I went from having very heavy periods and cramping for 7 days, to having a very light (hardly there) period every 3 months. It also managed to clear up the cystic acne that came along with it. My only issue with it was that for the first month or two on the pill, I did have some spotting and bleeding, but it quickly went away, and haven't had any bleeding since then. Other than that I haven't experienced any other symptoms, and I highly recommend Seasonale!"

"I started taking Seasonale 3 months ago as my previous birth control medication was no longer effective. I take it to regulate my periods as they never regulated on their own. Everything was going well (no pain or abnormal bleeding) until this past week when I got my period while taking the week of inactive pills. I have recently suffered 48 hours of intense breast pain and swelling (way worse than "tenderness") where the pain hits in waves and makes it nearly impossible to do anything. I am exhausted from being in this much pain. I have also experienced my left breast "leaking" for most of the day which is really uncomfortable. My body now thinks it is pregnant which is something I should not have to deal with. Not taking this again."

"My doctor put me on Seasonale to control my horrendous periods. Unfortunately I suffered with them because of fibroids & perimenopause. Everything else was ruled out. I gave it 4 stars cause it did help with my bad periods, but I did bleed for 6 months straight (mostly spotting). I gave it a chance, just wasn't for me. My doctor put me on Apri, & I'm doing good on it."

"I have been on this birth control for 2 months it started out with some spotting which I expected. However it never stopped I am now on my third month and I am full on bleeding and it shows no signs of stopping. The only thing it has sort of down is manage cramps but it makes me nervous what will happen at the end of three months when I am actually supposed to have my period."

"This is the first pill I've found that genuinely fixes my extra long, extra heavy, anemia-producing periods. I was bleeding 20+ days/month (enough to require tampons) with at least one day of bleeding so heavy that I had to stay home for the good of humanity and all their upholstery. Typical BCPs (1 week of placebos/month) limited my bleeding to 7 days but not the very heavy days/anemia. Other reviewers talked about bleeding frustrations the first 2 months on Seasonale. All I can say is that I definitely bled less than I did off the pill, but obviously my benchmark was not the norm. My first period (after 3 months on it) was very heavy as expected since my placebo weeks always were. Very UNexpected: my second period (6 months on the pill) was super easy, something never before experienced in the 32 years since my first period. 1 year later, my placebo weeks are consistently easy (only light-med bleeding) and very light spotting each 4th week (not enough for tampons/liners). Quality of Life++"

"I've been taking this birth control for over 2 years. It works great most of the time but once a year I have a period that's 2 weeks long. I'm going to my doctor soon to look at other options."
