hi all,

i have a question that i hope you can help me with - i'm debating whether or not to go on a BCP that will give me only 4 periods per year which sounds very tempting as i get horrible PMS... has anyone tried Seasonale or Seasonique? i believe the 2nd one is newer and is supposed to also help with acne (i'm 20 and still have some)...
please reply if you've tried either one and if you've had any of the side effects (nausea, headaches, weight gain...)

Thanks so much!
