Comment:
I used Seasonale for 4 months and then quit. For the entire time I was on it, I had very heavy breakthrough bleeding w/serious clotting for about 3 weeks out of the month. With all of the cramps and breast-tenderness that came along with it, I felt like I was having my period most of the time. I guess it was effective since I didn't get pregnant while on it - but this could have been since I only ... Show Full Comment

Comment:
I have been taking Seasonale for a year. I had no spotting or bleeding in between periods. It's fantastic to only have 1 period every 3 months. My periods are also lighter and shorter due to the medication. It's worked well for me and I am completely satisfied.

Comment:
I was on Seasonale for about 3 and a half years. While I will admit it took a couple packs (3 months each) before my body fully adjusted to it, once it did, I loved it.

Like I said though - once my body adjusted to the pills that stopped and I loved them. I had ... Show Full Comment
