"i am on my 5th week of seasonique. i will repost as i am further along. the first 3 1/2 weeks i had that normal &quot;somewhat odd&quot; (bloating, irritability) that comes with starting any new birth control (my personal experience). at 3 1/2 weeks i had to take pain killers every couple of days. random cramping. however, the week that my period was expected, week 4, i had only light spotting. no blood ..just a few smears of super light brown discharge. i often have pms..so i think the irritability i had was just around pms time. so the irritability/slight moodiness was ok with. now i am on week 5. irritability gone. still light spotting...but i&#039;m optimistic so far. looks like this may work. will repost to share."
