Well I just posted about the Depo shot, but after some more looking I stumbled across Seasonale.. Does anybody have any thoughts or experiences with this new pill??

I posted a few weeks ago about switching to Seasonale...Unfortunately due to insurance woes I couldn't get my hands on it for about a month (without paying full price) so I am very excited to be starting it this Sunday...I'll definitely let you all know how it goes. I was reminded last night of how much I hate having my period when I was woken up by cramps!! Ugh!! (BTW, I used to be on Kariva (generic of Mircette) and was fine with it except that it made me quite dry)


For people on Seasonale: (I don't know if there are many...) what are your experiences with PMS symptoms and vaginal dryness? (As well as BTB...)

I've been on seasonale for about a month and a half..And I'm not sure if this is considered breakthrough bleeding or not, but for the last ten days I've had what I'd consider a full-blown period. Complete with cramps. And since seasonale is a 90 day cycle, I shouldn't have it for another month and a half. My only thought is that I went to the ER a couple days before this happened, for chest pains, and they gave me a shot of Toradol and a prescription for naprosyn..neither of those drugs list any problem with BC, but I can't figure any other reason why I'd suddenly get my period.

Anyway, could be anything, with me. :P
