Birdie, I'll second that. I do love only having four periods. And I know I've said this before, but the low dose Seasonique BLOWS. Regular dosage all the way.

Slight cramps for the first and maybe second day, but I get fairly irritable. Mine only lasts four days and is pretty light for two of them though, which rocks my socks.
Haha I highly suggest you get it! We have learned though it works best to just put the liqour in, instead of making the full drink in there (like vodka and tea) because it pours out really slow. But it's definitely a good time on the course!

Ugh, I'm getting Andy and DNB mixed up and since Fishy doesn't quote people, I was confusing her responses and it was NOT a pleasant thought.
EDIT: I was confused about this response from DNB, thinking it was Andy or that she had suggested the Diva Cup or something. Definitely a WTF moment. Haha I highly suggest you get it!

I do the "back to back" thing on regular BCP for months at a time with my dr.s' blessing. Given that I had nearly debilitating cramps previously3-5 days prior to my period beginning, it has been a blessing. I still get some cramping during the time that I would be getting the PMS symptoms but they pale in comparison. I would never suggest medical advice but perhaps a conversation with your dr. about this would give you some answers. Several of my friends have had similar results.
I was on it for 2.5 years. I was miserable the whole time and my doc didn't want to switch me because she thought eventually it would cycle up. I just couldn't take it anymore and I actually stopped taking BCP in general until about 2 months ago.
futuremirstr- thanks thats super sweet. />_< MY POINT WAS that maybe you could check out a different bc.. bc my pms used to be pretty bad, and now well.. i don't know you, nor do i want to slap you.
tmacwin- yup im on loestrin24. I'm tooootally okay with the no period thing so im happy. same with my doc.
honestly my biggest fear was getting on a bc that would make me gain weight because i know a couple girls that GAINED.. and I'm not talking a couple pounds.. i mean like.. 20-40. they have had to have all kinds of perscribed diet pills from their doc to help get it back off (this happens when you're perscribed a bc with too high of the estrogen horomone) so I was persistant about getting the lowest dose of it as possible and this is what i ended up with
futuremrst you should see about getting a lower dose because im with you .. i refuse to do the condom thing again
