"i have had the absolutely worst time with this birth control. at first, i was on the original seasonique - i had to switch to the lo seasonique because with the original, i had the worst cramping, moodiness, bleeding, ever. i thought the lower strength would be the perfect pill for me. boy, was i ever wrong. i haven&#039;t had a regular period yet, and i have been taking this medication for over a year. i bleed an average of 21 days - i am period-free one week, and then have a full-brown cycle for five days. the 3-month period-free thing sounded so good - especially because i usually miss work or class because of horrible periods, but this was very counterproductive. i&#039;m going to try the implant or go back to the regular pill."
