Seasonale birth control?
611033
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.

Definitely the pill...Orthocycline. Its also great for regulating your periods.\nIf its a new relationship I suggest starting w/a condom + the pill.

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 don't see why it wouldn't be LEGAL in Canada? I take it..it's not really any different from other birth controls. You can do the 4 periods per year with ANY oral contraceptive. I don't see why it wouldn't be legal. I didn't even think Canada had a system that reviewed medications? Like the FDA...On the Seasonale website it does say "this site is intended for residents of the United States only." Maybe you could go to the doc or something to make sure first...You should ALWAYS see a doctor before taking something like birth control anyway......And they will know the legal stuff.

The best way to regulate cycles is The Pill.  Talk to you GYN about your options!

I took Alesse for awhile and experienced longer periods as well.  Alessa is a birth control pill that builds up the dosage of hormones gradually throughout the month so maybe you should try a birth control pill that is the same dosage every day, like Orthocyclen.  Have you asked your gyno about it?

You should look into getting on Seasonale.  It's the only extended-cycle pill.  It lets you have a period every three months instead of once a month.

the pill can regulate your periods...\n\ntry the health clinic...would be cheaper than an ob/gyn I'd think...\n\nthere may be some underlying problem.......

dont take the shot, and also the sesonal pill that's supposed to stop your period and make you only have 4 a year doesn't work you get two every month, it sucks stay away from that one, I've never tried Yasmin, just ask your doc what one is best for you, I don't think it's going to make your boobs grow though.

Seasonle is the pill that puts off your period for 3 months and there is only Depo shot. Those are the two longest ones

a lot of people seem to be suggesting pills and painkillers. being natural is the best way for your body. you dont wanna be feeding on chemicals every month. Heating pads sound a good idea. not sure if we have them here, i tend to opt 4 a hot water bottle. Have a nice long bath, get your hot water bottle, warm drink and maybe some sex thrown in for good measure.
