I started taking this for BC and so I could plan my period around my honeymoon. The first 3 months I had breakthrough bleeding for 3 weeks! Now I have it again and have had it for 2 weeks! I've been on it 4 months, its ridiculous. I have awful mood swings, lose my temper even easier, and am an emotional wreck.

I was NOT like this before I started this BC and my obgyn said I had to wait till im on the placebo pills to switch and i cannot wait to get off it!!

Complete loss of sexual appetite. Caused major discomfort in vaginal area including burning. Burn would occur with or without sex. Had to get off this pill and try a different one.

I have been on this BCP for 6 months. Not only is it not covered by my insurance..it was also very expensive. My body agreed with it the first 3 months, but the last 3 months have not been a good adventure. I have had breakthrough bleeding/spotting for 2.5 months straight. I have had no other symptoms. I was hoping this BCP would work for me, but it didn't.

I went on the pill to help with moodiness around my period. Loseasonique was recommended by my doctor, but I have experienced cyst like pimples around my chin, dry splitting nails and break through bleeding. I have been on this site to see if others are having insomnia with this drug. I can't tell if it's the birth control or something else. I've taken everything out of my diet and I'm still up ...

I have been on this site to see if others are having insomnia with this drug. I can't tell if it's the birth control or something else. I've taken everything out of my diet and I'm still up randomly. I do notice numbness/ tingling in my arms and my feet fall asleep easily when I cross them. Sounds random, but I swear it's all come about after getting on this pill. Thinking of stopping

i am on my 6th week of loseasonique. the first month was wonderful. i didn't have any side effects at all. i started documenting my weight everyday, because i had heard some women gain weight. so far, i've actually lost a couple pounds. i've always been a sugar addict and am trying to eat healthier. but sometimes i just have to eat something sweet! a month into it, i got my period just a few days before i would have normally. i had no warning signs, no pre-cramps. my breasts were a little tender, but i just thought it was effects of the pill. the first 4 days were really light and no cramps at all. but then it became like a full blown period, only it lasted longer. i normally bleed for about 4 days. i was wondering how much more blood i could possibly have that needed to come out! i often get terrible cramps and take midol. i wanted to see how bad these cramps would get. they weren't severe enough for midol, but i just felt really 'blah' the first 2 days of regular bleeding. in total i bled for about 10 days. the first few days and the last few days were really light. but for like 2 days in the middle, it was really heavy. i bled through a super tampon in like 2 hours!! i think i'm gonna stick it out and see if eventually my periods gets lighter and just the 4 times a year. this is my first time to try any birth control, and i did want to start with a lower dose. my main reason for taking this pill was to prevent pregnancy, but the 'only 4 periods a year' was appealing since i can have pretty intense cramping. and really, who wouldn't want less periods anyway, haha.
