I tried this... and got REALLY screwed up. I was on Ortho-Cyclen (the generic), then my doc gave me a year's worth of that Seasonal stuff for free. I gave it a full year and had spotting every day from about the second month to the end of the whole year.
The hormones in there aren't all that different from what I was on before, so it shouldn't have messed me up that bad, but it did. It took another three months or so after going off of it to get back on track.
After that I went on Ortho-Tri Cyclen Lo. My OB/GYN gets tons of free samples and since my mom works at the hospital and he knows her, he hooks me up!
No more $10 monthly co-pay for pills! I've had no problems with this stuff...
I don't even care when I get my period. Like I said, it's really not a big deal for me. I'm not going to bother trying to change things again if it's going to mess me up like the last time!
