Seasonale birth control pill has been approved by FDA. A new choice in oral contraceptive for woman for preventing of pregnancy. Seasonale s an extended- regimen birth control pill which means it is designed to extend the time between your expected menstrual periods so you get them once every 3 months instead of every month. Seasonale is 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy when taken as directed by your doctor.

Birth Control Pill…?
So heres the deal. I have already been on two different types of bcp. On was on Seasonale about 2 years ago. That pill really messed up my body, made me feel super sick and moody all the time. So I got off of that pill, and took a few months off. I then started Othro Tri-Cyclin Lo, the low-horomone birth control. I’m not sure if my body was still recovering from the Seasonale or what, but my body reacted the same way as it did on the first pill!
I’ve been off of birth control for about a year now, but I’m wanting to get back on. Not only will it help with my pms and clear up my face, but it will be another way to make sure no babies are coming any time soon.
I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on which pill I should take that won’t screw with my body. I really don’t want to feel like that again…. I’m just not sure what is out there now that will work for me.
I’m on Kariva (pill) for the past two plus years with no side affects.

Try Yaz. it’s supposed to help with acne, pms ect.

You will probably react the same way to any BCP as their ingredients are all first cousins to each other.
You need an alternative method for birth control, such as using an IUD (intra-uterine device) which your doctor can insert for you. It is a very small gadget inserted into your uterus that prevents you from getting pregnant.

Everyone is different. You’ve only tried two different types of pill - there are many others, one of which may suit you. It’s worth going back to your doctor and making sure you keep them up-to-date with any side effects you may experience. It can take several months for your body to adjust to a new type of pill so you will need to be patient.
If you do eventually find that the pill is not for you, natural remedies such as starflower oil or evening primrose oil may help with your PMS, and there are antibitotics you can be prescribed (e.g. doxycycline) that will clear up your skin. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the best method of contraception for you.

Since all BCPs are low-dose hormones these days, it is simply a matter of finding one that is a good chemical combination for YOU. I would recommend staying away from tri-phasics (Tri-Cyclen for example) and stick with a low estrogen mono-phasic pill, such as LoEstrin. YAZ and Yasmin are both new to the market and have VERY low levels of estrogen and an alternate progestin chemical that can be tolerated by those people who don’t usually do well on other methods.
Or even try something like the mini-pill (progestin only), as it may be the estrogen that’s causing problems.
Or you could try the NuvaRing. It probably won’t do much for your skin, but it will probably help with periods & moodswings, and the dosing is different because its right where it needs to be, so less of the hormone is in your bloodstream.
BTW, it took me nearly 2 DOZEN types of pills before I found one that worked well for me.

I would talk with your doctor and be very careful about taking birth control. A friend of mine went through the same thing. Feeling sick and not being able to continue the BC. Then she had 2 strokes. She cannot take birth control. Just talk with your doctor.
