Does anybody have any experience with this birth control pill? I'm currently using ortho tri cyclen, but am tempted by the idea of four periods a year!
Thanks!

I switched from ortho tri cyclen lo to seasonale, but I took it for only three months. It didn't seem to agree with me. I was very moody and had more headaches. I don't know for sure if it was because of the pill, but my doctor said a lot of women have had trouble tolerating seasonale. The side effects may have gotten better if I had stayed on it a little longer, but I decided to go back to my original pill since I knew it worked for me. But it sure was nice to skip my period for three months! If this is something you really want to do, you can always give it a try and see how you like it. Everyone has different reactions, so you might end up loving it. Good luck!

Seasonale
I currently am taking seasonale and have been on it for about a year and a half - I love it! I went from ortho try cyclen and the transition was very easy - I never had breakthrough bleeding or any issues. The only problem that has arisen very recently is a few episodes of night sweats here and there - but it's so great not getting your period every month! I'm anemic too, so it's been very helpful!

Good luck...
