vaginapaginaSorry if any of this has been posted before - I have a raging headache and little time to look through the archives, but I'll delete it if necessary.
Anyway, after a looong six months of suffering menstrual migraines [we're talking the kind that leave me sprawled across the sofa for four days on end] and really horrible cramping, my doctor [two doctors, in fact] and a neurologist have all told me that going on Seasonale would be one of my best options. They've all said that they've seen Seasonale make vast improvements in a lot of girls [I'm 16, if it matters] who have migraines and really bad cramping with their cycles, because BC in general decreases the intensity of the symptoms and, obviously, if you lessen the number of periods you have in a year, you lessen the chances for the symptoms to really surface anyway. I of course despise my period because it gives me such hell all the time and would love to have as few as possible, but I know that everything has its downsides. If I don't go on Seasonale, I'm still going to go on some sort of monthly-cycle BC, and so mainly I'm just wondering how they weigh out against each other. I'd also like to know how those of you that use/have used Seasonale liked it. ALSO, I know with Seasonale there's a bigger chance of breakthrough bleeding and all that hoohah, so I'm wondering how often/heavy/etc. that bleeding is, generally.
Bahhh thank you in advance. :)
