I have been on LoSeasonique for 6 months now, and I absolutely love it. I have lost 25-30 pounds since I started taking it, have only had two periods in the last six months, and no evident side effects. The ONLY downside for me is that it is so expensive! For one three-month pack it is $188 at my pharmacy, but when I started taking it there was a discount card given to me by my gyno, which made SI ... Show Full Comment

For one three-month pack it is $188 at my pharmacy, but when I started taking it there was a discount card given to me by my gyno, which made SIX months around $80! Talk about disappointing when I found out they discontinued the discount card! I have never had such a great BC before, I think I'll just have to shell out the cash!

I really have enjoyed taking this medication. It never made me moody like past BC pills. I didn't notice weight gain unlike in the past, I even dropped a few pounds. A reason there are so many comments about bleeding is because it is a low dose. It may not be strong enough for some women, but for those of us who don't need it strong it works great! My periods have been lighter and I love it! on ... Show Full Comment

I've been using 13-week-cycle birth control pills for 5+ years now - Seasonique and Jolessa. My doctor recently switched me to Lo Seasonique and it's been terrible!! 2 weeks after starting, I began to spot. It never stopped until I took a week off from the pills and let a period come. Then I began taking them again and lasted 3 weeks before nonstop spotting (nearly as heavy as a period) once again forced me to take a week off. I guess you are supposed to just keep taking the pills and deal with 3 months straight of having a period?!? Right, and I would explain that to my husband HOW, exactly? Plus 3 months straight of cramps and PMS-like extreme annoyance -- it just gets better and better! And did I mention the weight gain? The only good thing I can say is that I didn't get pregnant, although it's basically destroyed my sex life with the nonstop bleeding so I'm not sure there was even an opportunity to get pregnant. The minute I can get my doctor's office to call me back, I'm switching to something else, ANYTHING ELSE!

If you are hormone-sensitive, please read! I have tried every pill family on the market and my doctor recently prescribed loseasonique, as I have not yet tried this type. I have experienced not-so-pleasant side effects in the past from the other pills & nuva ring (severe acne, migraines, nausea, melasma, mood swings, fatigue), so I had high hopes for this one.

If you are hormone-sensitive, please read! I have tried every pill family on the market and my doctor recently prescribed loseasonique, as I have not yet tried this type. I have experienced not-so-pleasant side effects in the past from the other pills & nuva ring (severe acne, migraines, nausea, melasma, mood swings, fatigue), so I had high hopes for this one. I had been off pills completely for 2.5 months and felt great. I took my first pill from loseasonique at 11pm Sunday evening, and by 11am Monday morning, I was experiencing shortness of breath, dizziness and even blacked out while laying down trying to calm the symptoms. I managed to drive myself to urgent care and get checked out to make sure nothing serious was happening, but I am 100% sure that what I experienced was a result of the pill. I am an athlete, in great health with a balanced diet, and have never before had these "anxiety" type symptoms. Again, everyone reacts differently, but if you experience something similar, please use caution. Doctors might say otherwise, but I believe that only you know your body best. Needless to say, I had enough of a health scare, and I will not be sticking around to see if these symptoms subside.

I am on my 4th week of LoSeasonique & I love it! I was a bit nervous about starting it because of all the bad things I had read online- but I have experienced very little side effects. I have a history of acne, and I can actually not take my acne medication anymore & just take this BC.

I am on my 4th week of LoSeasonique & I love it! I was a bit nervous about starting it because of all the bad things I had read online- but I have experienced very little side effects. I have a history of acne, and I can actually not take my acne medication anymore & just take this BC. I was supposed to begin my period on the 8th of this month- it's now the 13th & I have began spotting last night- but nothing I could complain about. I love the idea of not having a full period for another 2 months & so far my experience has been great! I am unsure as to the effectiveness, but it sure does seem to be working so far!
