Question Switching Birth Control.... - May 5th 2011, 02:47 AM

Hey All,
So this summer when I go to my annual doctors appointment to get my BC refilled I'm wanting to switch my pills from OrthotricycleneLo to Seasonique mainly out of convenience because I live on a college campus and getting to a pharmacy is a nightmare.
Does anyone know anything about Seasonique? or taken it? I've done a bit of research but theres not much out there except that you only get 4 periods a year.

I've never been on Seasonique and don't know anyone else who has been on it, so I'm afraid I can't tell you much. There is a LiveJournal community dedicated to discussing everything about birth control, including Seasonique! Here is a link to the page. :)

I'm sorry I couldn't offer you much but I hope this helps some!

I can't be of much help to you, but I know that Seasonique is one of many birth control pills that give you only 3/4 periods a year. Of course, if you look at the side effects on your current birth control pills, they usually don't change between them and that could give you some information on what to expect. I know a friend of mine switched her birth control pills and experienced major nausea for a month or so afterward, but it passes. I suggest looking at the link the above poster gave you for more information on it.
