Seasonale Issue
| Sat, 07-31-2004 - 10:49am |
I have been part of a study for the last year. I am sure many of you have seen the commercials for the Seasonale birth control pill. The study I have been a part of was testing to see if women could handle a lower dosage than 30mg - specifically, 20Mg. This is the first time I have been on a 84 day pill pack and have noticed an unpleasent development that I am curious to know is something other women have noticed in using the 84 day cycle method. I am not able to lose weight. I have put on about 20 pounds in this last year and have NOT been able to get them off. I have tried aerobic exercise 4 days a week, aerobic exercise combined with weight training, eating a 1500 calorie diet for nearly two months, and even taking appetite supressents. Nothing has worked - and seems that no matter what I do, I weigh EXACTLY the same everytime I get on the scale. Has any one else experience this? I am thinking of going back to a regular 21 day pill pack at the end of this study (which is next month). Does any one have any suggestions or thoughts on this issue I am facing?

Good luck!
