"I seldom write reviews for anything but I have found the reviews that I reason on this site very helpful.  My doctor presented me a few birth control options after having my second child.  I liked the idea of only having 4 periods a year.  I&#039;ve been taking Seasonique now for almost 8 months and I absolutely hate it.  Since taking it, I have gained 10-15 lbs (with no change to my diet or exercise - If anything I&#039;m eating less and more on the go).  My periods are now heavier than EVER before, more irregular (anywhere from every 4-7 weeks) and longer than any I&#039;ve ever had.  (usually around 3 weeks.)   If I take my pill 2 hours late, I will start spotting the next day.  I also get these weird rashes on my neck (that started 8 months ago)."
