Extended-Cycle Birth Control Reviews

Seasonale seems to be helping. I have been on a birth control to control cramps and such since I was a sophomore in high school. After my surgery last year my doctor switched me to Seasonale so I would only have 4 periods a year. She said that endometriosis grows faster when you are ovulated and fewer periods are supposed to help it grow less and hurt less.

Yes it works but frequent yeast infections is an annoying side effect and not sure how long it is safe to be on this treatmentl

Controlled the pain moderately well as long as I didn't have a period.

The Seasonique had been wonderful for quite a while... until my last period, which felt like I wasn't even on b.c. pills anymore. Then the pain didn't end with the period. Feel like Seasonique is still a good option for now- without birth control I tend to bleed all of the time.
