birth control
"I was attracted to the four periods a year setup. I had really bad cramps and spotting for the first 8 to 9 months on Seasonique. I continued to have intermittent cramps and spotting after. One strange side effect is that after an orgasm I would have a terrible cramping and blood a little later. Not pleasant. 



I also gained about 10 lbs in one year, which is not normal for me. I go to a gym and avoid junk food. I was generally puffy and no matter how much weight training and cardio I did, could NOT GET IN SHAPE. I'm switching back to Loestrin after I get my weight back to normal. This is an effective birth control but the side effects were a bit unpleasant in my experience."
