"i am currently on the last week of the 2nd month of the ashlyna (seasonique) brand of this. as far as periods go, i haven&#039;t had any bleeding and this is working great for that. however, since i&#039;ve started this brand i have gained a ton of weight. i am on other medication for depression, but i&#039;ve been on that for over a year so the birth control definitely isn&#039;t helping. i would make sure to take in account weight gain this may cause before deciding on this particular brand."
