I've been taking Seasonique for 4 months now. I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding whatsoever. I do feel a little bloated, and have probably gained a few pounds, which I don't like at all. Also, I suddenly started haveing Acne breakouts (which I never had even when I was a teenager!). That's the biggest bummer!

Also, I suddenly started haveing Acne breakouts (which I never had even when I was a teenager!). That's the biggest bummer! I'm 47 years old and am going to give this acne thing 2 more months, as my doctor asked, to see if it goes away. Funny how these medications affect everybody so differently!

I recently started taking Seasonique after having been on loestrin for a number of years. The first 4 weeks were great - no symptoms at all. Then in my fifth week, I began spotting. Then the spotting got heavier. Then I started bleeding like a regular period and I have now been bleeding for the past 4 weeks straight. The last 2 weeks have been the worst.

I recently started taking Seasonique after having been on loestrin for a number of years. The first 4 weeks were great - no symptoms at all. Then in my fifth week, I began spotting. Then the spotting got heavier. Then I started bleeding like a regular period and I have now been bleeding for the past 4 weeks straight. The last 2 weeks have been the worst. The bleeding is extremely heavy with huge clots. Sometimes the clots fill the entire base of the toilet bowls. Usually I get a sharp pain in the uterus before the clot and by the time I get to the bathroom everything comes gushing out. It's almost like the afterbirth when you've had a baby. On top of it all, I have had severe stomach cramps, headaches, and bouts of depression. I also have zero sex drive. This pill is absolutely horrible; I can't wait to get off of it.

This is no wonder drug! It's horrid! How long does it take to get this mess out of my system?!!

I have been on this BCP for 6 wks. I bled for the first two & 1/2 wks straight, now am bleeding again. Have no interest in sex whatsoever. Still having terrible migraines. Extreme tiredness, irritability, mood swings, dizziness. This is worse than any birth control method I have ever tried. Now I am afraid I am pregnant, why else would I be feeling this way? Yeah, probably the stupid pills. Th ... Show Full Comment

I've been taking this medication for a little over a year, and I absolutely love, love, love it! The first 3 months I had A LOT of spotting, but once I made it to the second pack I stopped spotting completely. This was the only birth control I've ever taken that completely cured my acne.

I've taken a lot of different brands, but this one made my skin beautiful, my periods lighter, and my PMS more tolerable. If you're taking it and you're getting frustrated with the spotting, HANG IN THERE! It's worth it once your body acclimates!
