From what I gathered, that means that it only works for birth control pills that have the same levels of hormones of each pill every single day of the month. Apparently, it does not work for birth control pills that have different levels of hormones for each week of the month, like Ortho TriCyclen. Sorry to get everyone confused!
What does your hubby say about seasonal?
