"i decided to switch from tri-sprintec to seasonique right before i got married because having 4 periods a year sounded great to both me and my new husband! as far as fewer periods, it was great. i never had any problems with spotting or heavy periods at all. as far as preventing pregnancy, still no baby here so i guess that part worked pretty well too.  on the negative side....i have gained close to 20 pounds in the last 4 months since i started taking seasonique and have not been able to drop the weight with diet and exercise. i actually continued to gain weight while trying hard to lose it. also, my libido dropped like crazy, i was not interested in sex at all, but i wanted to be. and i experienced extreme vaginal dryness, which was no fun."
