For Birth Control "I have been reading some of the reviews, and I wanted to remind people that birth control is extremely individual. The right birth control for one person may not be right for another. The way your body reacts to the birth control is a big factor in how well it works for you and is not consistent among everyone. I, personally, love LoSeasonique. I switched about 2 years ago after my previous birth control started giving me migraines and making me sick. LoSeasonique allows me to have only 4 periods a year, and when I do have them, they are very light. It took about a month to adjust to it, but after that, it was great! Completely took away my PMS symptoms and does not wreak havoc on the rest of my body."

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 am 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 migraines, 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."

For Birth Control "I'm on my third set of LoSeasonique. I originally started using LoSeasonique to help control my periods when I would experience extreme cramping and migraines to the point that I could not function. I started LoSeasonique and haven't experienced any migraines or cramps since. I haven't had any spotting. My periods are lighter and only last three days. My sex drive has increased, and I have been less moody. Overall, a GREAT pill."

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!"

For Endometriosis "I've been on 4 different birth control pills in the past 2 years, and LoSeasonique has given me the best experience. I have a pretty bad case of endometriosis. I've been on LoSeasonique for almost 5 months now, and my first period was a breeze. I had cramps for only one day (usually 3-5) during my period, which only lasted 4 days. My only concern is that when I first started LoSeasonique, I started getting awful migraines every day from the minute I woke up to the minute I went to bed. Luckily, after about 3 weeks, these went away. I get spotting every so often, but nothing that's unmanageable. I also noticed that my bloating has almost completely gone down."

For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding "I started taking LoSeasonique because my doctor suggested I do so. Every month just before my period, I get a horrible headache that lasts about three days, and nothing I take will make it go away. It has really begun to interfere with my life. My doctor said that it was an estrogen withdrawal headache and there is nothing that could really be done. However, he said that if I only had a period once every three months, I would only have to tolerate the headache once every three months. I have now been on my first three-month pack for six weeks, and I have started bleeding, cramping, and yes, I have the headache. I have been tired, very emotional, and have had migraines since I started LoSeasonique."

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."

"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 LoSeasonique, so he prescribed LoEstrin24. Hope it does the trick."

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "Have been taking this for about a week now and have had severe breast tenderness and almost a burning pain. Happens about 30-40 minutes after taking pills. This stopped today and now I have a migraine-so far two days. If this continues I'm done. No spotting yet. Has helped alleviate pain in my left ovary."
