Hi everyone!! I was just thinking, (after visiting Seasonal's website), is it possible to take other monophoasic pills in the same way Seasonal is taken?? For example, I'm on Diane35 right now. I'm wondering if it's possible to try and take it for 84 days on, 7 off??? Anyone know if this is safe??

You really might want to check with your doctor about that. Health Canada has put out some warnings about Diane 35. It has an increased risk of blood clots associated with it, and they're advising that it should be prescribed only for women with severe acne. Given the possible risk, you might want to ask your doctor if trying to take it continuously would increase the possibility of having problems.

Okay, I'm going to the doctors today anyways, so I'll ask then.
