I did have spotting for about 20 days straight after the first month. I was told I would have to do that for 3 months before it would be abnormal! Ugh! Thankfully, it ended. I did have some cramping with it. I took an extra week of the active pills so I could go on a Moms only weekend w/out my period and everything went fine. When I returned I was exhausted. I don't know if that was related or not. When I took the inactive pills, my period started very slow and light and was only heavy for about a day and a half and then slowed down to nothing by day seven. I didn't have any cramping, bloating or emotional issues. I was just very tired and still am. I am on my second week of my second 91 day pack. I haven't gained any weight, but I am also taking some migraine meds that have the opposite side effect. All in all I am satisfied. I am taking Seasonale to help with my migraines and it seems to be helping mildly. I hope this gives some encouragement to those out there who want to try Seasonale. Not all experiences are bad.
