Endometriosis
"I have a condition called endometrial hyperplasia.  Basically, my uterus is thick, my uterine cells produce quickly and cause pain that feeds into my muscle cells during menstruation.  I have had two children and constant pain during my cycles.  My OB suggested Seasonique to get rid of my cycle and end my pain.  After a while my abdominal pain is TOTALLY gone. I also have a much more stable mood. Once you get through one full cycle the spotting decreases and things level out.  I suggest not stopping until you have tried it for at least 3-6 months."
