"i love taking seasonique, i spotted on and off for the first three months after starting this birth control pill and after that i never had an issue with it. i have been on this since march 2011. my periods are also so light that they are barely noticeable and last three days tops, so i really only have my period for 12 days a year. that is perfectly great by me. however i recently decided to stop taking birth control as i have not been sexually active and do not plan to be anytime soon and since i stopped taking this is in april 2015 i have gained 15 pounds regardless of working out 5x a week and limiting my diet and my diet has only improved over the last five years."
