I took it for about 2 years.  It cost me about $40/month.  Started out as $30/month but then my insurance changed.  It will depend on your insurance.\n\nI have taken Triphasil which made me puke all the time.  Ortho Mircronor gave me a period every other week - Yuck.  I'm on Lo-Ovral now and it is ok.  My periods are heavier though and I cramp more.  Yasmin worked best for me except that it gave me headaches.  It got to the point that I didn't want to deal with them anymore.  You need to be on something for at least 3 months before you can make a decision.  It takes that long for your body to get used to it.

I was on Yasmin and I had no skin problems but my hair started to thin out. It was like I was shedding. I stopped taking it and I was fine. I went on NOR QD

I don't know but I want the same thing.  I have been taking it for 2 years and it cost me $25.00/month to get them.  My doctor put me on them for migraines and chronic insomnia and they are the best thing I have taken.

As far as the medicine goes there are allot of companies out there willing to help on the pills part, I use ldsmedcare i pay $20 a month for my $800 worth of medicine i use and need, so on the pills side there is plenty of help. I am sure that there are companies able to help with gas too just never thought to look into it i don't know for sure but pills can be bought cheap.

I lost like 15 pounds because of the Birth control pill. I know that sounds GREAT but not in my case because now I am too skinny, so right now I'm trying to gain the pounds back. I know most women gain weight instead of losing. I'm going to my GYN to change my pills in two weeks. Enjoy it if is working the way you wanted to!

Some insurances pay for it, and some don't.  I work in a gyne office, and they charge $80 for a three month shot.  Insurances do tend to pay for it if the doc diagnoses it for something other than birth control.  Depo does have a variety of side effects though, but they are different for everybody.  I was on it for 7 years.  During that time, the FDA announced that depo can decrease bone density.  I probably gained a total of 55-65 pounds while I was on the shot.  My periods stopped entirely.  When  I went off of it, it took me one year, and three days for my periods to return.  This really stinks if you are wanting a baby now!  Look into this, and ask your doc before doing this.

$5 a pill in the US.  But if you can find the India knock offs (sell in Canada) for a $1-$2 a pill.  Enjoy the boners!

See an OB/GYN but make sure you know your own/family medical history. The pill is often prescribed for 'regulating' periods, but its not always safe - you could be a stroke risk if there is any history of strokes or high blood pressure. I know it is not something you always want to talk to your parents about - they may freak at the words 'birth control' - but they are more likely to know this than you.

I've had one for 5 months now.  I'm 26, have one child and no plans to have any more.  I was looking for an alternative to birth control pills.  Initially I was looking into the Essure insert but it was too permanent, I wanted the ability to change my mind if I wanted another kiddo.\n\nGetting the IUD inserted was uncomfortable.  The next few days were torture.  I was afraid I'd rip something if I farted.  My periods were pretty normal but the last two have been bothersome (light but neverending).  Overall I'm pleased with this method.

I took yasmin for over 9 months and to be honest my symptoms didn't start till after my first month or second month.  As I took them, everything got progressively worse..brest tenderness, crazy out of control mood swings..shit I thought I was slowly losing my mind, but it was the pills.  4 days doesn't really determine anything, check after a month or two and see if anything has changed.

I've been on it for about a year and a half. The first three months were kind of rough with break-through bleeding and the like. After that it's been smooth sailing. I admit I did gain a little weight when I started on it. I have also noticed the PMS symptoms when I take the white filler pills are pretty harsh and I bleed a lot more than I did when I was not on Seasonale. There are both positives and negatives and I'm sure everyone is different. For me, the three months sans period is worth the couple days of discomfort and the minimal weight gain.

My doctor said that Seasonale is perfectly safe as long as you have your normal periods and are healthy. I am taking my first packet now. It cost me $50.00 for 3 months with my insurance. I believe it is about $120.00 without insurance. I have not had any spotting at all. It is nice not having a period for so long, but I feel more emotional now. I used to be on Yasmin, and I believe Seasonale is higher in hormones. I can definately tell. I just feel a little moody all the time. It does have some pros though. When I took the Depo shot, I had a decreased sexual drive. I was worried about the same with the Seasonale, but I did not experience any decrease at all. Also, I gained about 3 pounds the first month, but it came back off the next month. I didn't feel bloated, like some birth control can make you feel. Overall, Seasonale is a good choice. Hopefully, they will come out with a lower hormone version soon. Then it will be a perfect pill.

Just wanted to clarify... someone said it was unhealthy to take two packs in a row, but this is NOT true. It is perfectly fine... I do it sometimes when my period is going to fall during something I don't want to be having my period on (like vacation, a wedding, etc). My gyno told me it was fine to do that. \n\nI also take Yasmin, and sometimes skip the white pills one month so I don't have my period. However, for me, when I get around to the next white pills, my period is right there, ready to start. It doesn't have a delay. But I would imagine this could happen, like other posters have said.

Birth control pills are usually used to regulate your cycles.  Vitex/Chasteberry is a good herb that also does this, but a capsule that is 80 mg, rather than the ones you see that are 500 mg.  Natural Factors makes this particular potency.

As a pharamcy tech, I can tell you. Most guys are very willing to pay the price for the little blue pills. Besides, say your doctor writes your script for 30, you don't have to buy all of them at that time, Just buy one or two and see if it's right for you.

Yasmin. It has a WAY lower dose of the male hormones.

i'm taking it, and i'm in the US.  the doctor prescribed me that.  i do hav a little nauseousness after taking it, it's been a bit better but the 1st month was pretty bad... other than that, it's doing really good for me.  it clears all my breakout and i've become slimmer.  (trust me, i kno if it's becuz of the pills or not.)
