Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on Jolessa for about 45 days now.  My insurance wouldn&#039;t approve the original brand, which my RN mother-in-law says is better, but I&#039;ve read about other women spotting on Seasonique too so its probably more personal experience. Light spotting at least every few days and I still got a period even after my first month which lasted about 10 days as opposed to my short, but very painful ones.  On the plus side, I didn&#039;t even know the period was coming like I usually do: no severe cramps, mood swings, PMS, etc... On the down side, I have zero sex drive.  But overall, I feel very &quot;calm&quot; with less anxiety.  Not sure about weight gain, perhaps a few pounds but I&#039;m making an extra effort to eat better and exercise."
