    Anyone have any experiences with it?

    What were some side effects you've had?

    I have a trial pack of it because I want to switch around my birth control a little because of my severe cramping and heavy bleeding during my cycle. I'm currently on Yasmin, which works pretty OK, but doesn't help with cramping or bleeding at all, for me.

    I haven't tried Seasonale, but you can do the continuous birth control thing (only 4 periods a year) with any monophasic pill. I did it for a while with Mircette, and it was absolutely wonderful! I was afraid the cramps would be worse after that long without a period, but they were totally normal (I can't take a pill with a high enuf level of hormones to help the cramps, so the best I can do is make them happen less often).

    Good luck with finding a pill that does what you need it to!

    my gyno put me on seasonale after trinessa (which i think is a generic for ortho-tri-cyclene, not sure tho) didnt work out for me...it had lots of side effects gettin to me, but i dont seem to have many on seasonale. at first my acne was a bit worse, but it cleared up after a couple weeks, and i'm wetter and stuff than usual, but thats about it. i like it pretty well. at least my boobs arent so sore that i cry out when i bump into someone. :rolleyes: haha.
