"I'm going to give my full TMI experience on this pill because when I first started this pill, I looked up reviews and barely could find any. I started this pill 2 and 1/2 months ago. The first 24-48 hours, I was extremely nauseous and throwing up on and off. After that, I was just constantly nauseous for about a week. After that, though, everything went back to normal, and my acne even started to clear up. By the end of the first month (when I normally get my period), I had no period at all. At the end of the second month, I didn't get a full-on period, but I did experience spotting during that week. Now, I'm on my 3rd month of these pills, and I am hoping to just have a normal and short period with these pills. * While on these pills so far: I have not gained weight, however, I do bloat like crazy on this pill after eating anything. My acne has cleared up a ton, I have not had any noticeable mood changes, and I have had no period cramps so far! *"

"I see a lot of not-so-great reviews, so I wanted to share my experience for anyone that is looking into this BC. Everyone’s experience is different, but I would definitely recommend this birth control. I was previously on the Xulane patch for almost 4 years. I was tired of the chemical burns it left on my skin, so I switched to the pill. Seasonal BC was recommended to me just based on how my periods were on the patch (consistency wouldn’t absorb into tampons — at all!). I will say, I switched from one birth control to another seamlessly, so I imagine that is why I didn’t have any of the issues some are talking about (spotting, cramping, etc.). On a Sunday, I took off the patch I had and immediately started the pill. I really do love it. I have been on it for about 7 months now. I love not getting my period, as it is safe to completely skip it (start new pack instead of the blue pill every three months — cleared by my OBGYN). Just give it a try!!"
