What side effects did you experience when switching to piggybacking birth contro!


Question: I recently decided to piggy back my birth control pills to have 4 periods annually instead of 12. My Dr told me that there wouldn't really be any change except for the frequency of the flow, but I had wicked PMS last night, but I feel completely fine today.

I didn't change brands, I just no longer take that 1 week break.

Has anyone else experienced any side effects?

I found that at first my breasts still got very tender. After a few cycles things evened out and now I feel completely normal and my mood swings have normalized. Life is much easier now!

There is a birth control pill made for doing that. It is called Seasonique. One pack comes with 91 pills. There are 84 active pills and 7 inactive pills.

oh man im staying so far from this question its not even funny
