Q: Seasonique/ Seasonale

I am 29 years old and have two children. My youngest is 8. I have been off BC for over a year now. Recently I started getting really BAD migraines and NOTHING my neurologist has prescribed works. I also am always tired and have put on weight around my middle section. The worst thing is I have the worst craving I have ever had for sugar! Anything sweet. I can't stop myself. I have been going to the gym, three days a week and have not seen any change. This is not like me at all. I talked to my ob-gyn and she gave me a trial packet of seasonique. Has anyone tried it? If so can you tell me what your experience has been? I'm worried that I will gain wieght on it. Anything anyone has to tell me, I'm all ears. Thank you!

I personally have not tried this birth control. As you know weight gain is a side effect of birth control. What caused weight gain in some woman may not cause it in you. All you can really do is try and see how it works for you.

I understand that what you are looking for is some women to tell you there experiences with it. Hopefully, someone will be able for offer their thoughts and be more help than I was!

Good Luck!

Weight Gain

Yes, I tried it for three months a year ago and went from 140 to 170 and cannot get the weight off, I had been thin since age 19, I also am devastated. I work out every day, eat healthy and take vitamins. Nothing is working, I have heard that it really messes us your metabolism and nothing can be done? Never had a problem dropping weight ever, until now.
