"i was so excited to try seasonique and have only 4 periods a year.  i&#039;ve been on it for a year now and during the first few months i felt great and didn&#039;t notice any side effects.  as of the last couple of months i&#039;ve noticed some unexplained weight gain and my face is breaking out.  i&#039;ve never had acne before and i exercise so i can only guess its the hormones.  on the bright side, my horrible cramps have disappeared and my period only lasts a couple of days, although they have been somewhat heavy.  i haven&#039;t decided if i&#039;m going to try another method and see if these side effects go away."
