"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 every day and usually take it with a whole glass of water so I won't experience any headaches. I really like this pill so far and hope that I can continue."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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 my skin was breaking out really badly. 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."

"I really like this birth control pill. It 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/breakthrough 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."
