Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Well it worked to prevent pregnancy because there was no way I could have become pregnant when I couldn't even have sex since I basically had my period for a month! In addition I had the pleasure of getting severe cystic acne that I haven't been able to get under control. The cramps that accompanied my period were terrible. I'm going back on loestrin24.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I also experienced a very, very low sex drive for the first month and a half I was on this pill. It has much improved since.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I just started Seasonique almost two months ago. For about the first five weeks, it was fine and I didn't have a period or spotting. Although, for the last three weeks I've been bleeding like a normal period. Also, ever since I started taking it, my libido is really low and I simply have no sex drive. My gyno says that the bleeding is just my body getting used to the new drug, but honestly, a three week period.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been using Seasonique for a little over a year now. The first month and a half on Seasonique is great but then the spotting starts. For the past 2 1/2 weeks on the last pack I have been bleeding. It has given me acne and very painful cramps. I am switching to another birth control.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I was on Seasonique for 9 months, and my body never adjusted. I was getting my cycle every 2 weeks that entire time. But more importantly, it was giving me MAJOR anxiety (which is not a listed side effect). I have never had issues with anxiety before and it took me 9 months to associate the link to the pill itself. When I decided to stop taking it, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my chest. My doctor kept telling me to stay on it and did not make the connection either. I was told it may take a YEAR for my body to get used to it, but I could not continue in that state between the constant spotting and the anxiety. On the other hand, I have a friend who also takes Seasonique and had none of these issues.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I was on Seasonique for 2 years. Seasonique started out as an okay form of birth control. It took my body a while to get used to it (probably about 2 packs, so 6 months). When I did get used to it, it was great. But then the problems started. I've never had acne or even bad pimples and my face started to really break out. Also, I don't know if my body got immune to the birth contrl but after a while, my heavy periods came back as well as the cramps.
Also if I ever forgot to take my pill and had to double up, I would get really sick. Overall, it started out great, but the effects were not long term. I've gained 15 pounds and my libido is very low and I'm very dry when having intercourse. Also, as mentioned earlier, it gave me very bad acne.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I have been taking Seasonique for almost three months. I did not have a period until three weeks ago and I have been on my period for 3 weeks. It is very light, I have read through the information and it says your period can last for over 20 days. I do have a call into my doctor to see how much longer I need to have my period before I need to be concerned.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Seasonique worked well as a birth control. I had no spotting or bleeding during the 3 months I took it. However, it made me very emotional and moody. Also Seasonique made me break out which I normal don't.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Fantastic experience. 9 months on Seasonique and never had breakthrough bleeding. Slight appetite increase, but no acne or crazy mood swings. My last 2 birth control pills gave me insane mood swings. My fiance is thrilled with my choice in Seasonique.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Endometriosis: I have been taking this for endometriosis and have found it very effective. This isn't for the treatment of endometriosis but is for the prevention of pain that goes along with it.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Ovarian Cysts: I am on my second pack of Seasonique. Day 2 of the yellow pills and my period hasn't come yet. Could be because 2 weeks ago I had a 10 day period with heavy clotting. I have had no bad side effects other than lack of sex drive which doesn't bother me since I am not having sex. I am using this to treat my ovarian cysts that have grown back.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I loved taking this form of birth control. The only thing that I didn't enjoy was the amount of bleeding when the three months was up and I was on the inactive pill.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) : I'm very happy with Seasonique. I had my tubes tied about a year and a half ago after the birth of my 3rd son. I have very bad PMS and very painful ovulation. I could not take being miserable 3 weeks out of the month any more so my doctor put me on Seasonique. I found that my face is clearer and my appetite less. Only down side is lack of sex drive. I get like that no matter what pill I'm on. I'm looking forward less periods a year.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: I've been taking seasonique for a month now, not for its usual purpose, but to help an ovarian cyst dissolve. So far it's just like most of the other birth control pills I've tried but I have noticed a few side effects. Nothing major, but still noticeable. I've had more breakouts but it's actually starting to clear up so I'm sure there were other factors causing that. My appetite has been stronger than usual ever since I began Seasonique. I try to keep it under control but I just get really weird cravings a lot. Lastly, I constantly have this cramp that feels like the ones you get a few days before you start your period. It's the kind where you can feel a dull ache in your lower back and lower pelvis area. It's not painful but I can still feel it.

Seasonique (ethinyl estradiol/levonorgestrel) for Birth Control: Loved this birth control! I never had spotting or breakthrough bleeding during the 3 months of active pills. So nice to not have a monthly period. The only reason I'm switching is because my acne has gotten really bad because of stress.
