Well, I have been on them (Seasonique/Seasonale) for several years and haven't had any problems with either but i have never bled when i shouldn't be so i may not be a good example. Sorry!!

My period always comes 3-4 days after i have missed a pill and lasts 3-4 days with a normal flow. I take them at night (after dinner) so i think that helps reduce/avoid nausea.

hmm maybe I should try that I take it at lunch just cuz I can remember to do so haha hopefully I'll follow your example I just called them Friday and was like I CANT handle bleeding anymore so they told me to try it.. why not? I've done everything else haha I'm doing it on Yaz... I tried seasonique and I bled the ENTIRE time I was on it for 16 weeks yuck

haha actually since I started my pain went away and I have more energy but I also started taking iron so maybe that's why?

That's GREAT!!!! Yes, Iron can help alot with the energy level. I just started taking that also because i just found out i was slightly anemic and i have noticed a difference.

omggg! yeah I feel so much better I lost SO much blood last month that I just couldn't continue that way so I added iron and I don't feel like death half way thru my day! Lovely :) its like whoever decided to make periods happen (god, science, whatever) is an idiot because it makes you feel like shit and theres nothing to make you better iron wise, energy yatta yatta. I feel like I wouldn't mind losing blood if it didn't come with all the other side effects that suck. Especially once a month. Bleck.

Yea, oh and beware that taking iron can make the smell of your period very strong (you will think you are bleeding out). It may have been that i was taking too much iron because i was taking an iron pill and iron was in my daily vitamin but i think in general it can make the smell acidic. I woke up one morning thinking i was dying literally but thankfully i wasn't. GEESH!!! I agree it is something i could do without.
