birth control
"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."
