Four Times a Year?
// December 7th, 2004 // 8 Comments » // tagged: Health > Interesting
Anybody see the commercials for the new birth control pill Seasonale? Having your period only four times a year? Oh yeah, I'm going to be asking my doctor about this one for sure. I started the pill, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, when I was about 14 (seriously evil cramps); two years ago I switched to the Ortho-Evra patch. I love the patch ... the always there and consistant dose is much better than the pill. But this four times a year thing has me calling up my doctor to see what she thinks. I wonder if they'll come out with a Patch version of Seasonale? I'm not too keen on going back to having to remember to take a pill at the same time every day; but if it means only having to deal with THAT every four months - well - we'll see! But then I think ... I'm probably going to want to have kids sometime in the next 2-3 years - I wonder what the "come-down" time is on Seasonale. I hear it takes a few months off the Pill and the Patch before you can get pregnant. Lots of things to think about and talk to my doctor about!
