Seasonique is a combined birth control pill thatโs almost 100% effective at preventing pregnancy if taken correctly. Itโs very similar to Amethia, Camrese, Daysee, Ashlyna and Jaimiess. It also comes in a lower dose version called Lo-Seasonique, which is essentially the same pill as Amethia Lo, CamreseLo, Asumate and LoJaimiess.
It comes in packs of 91 pills, 84 of which contain two hormones and 7 which only have one. Seasonique is an extended cycle pill that is also biphasic, so the hormones in the pills only change for a week at the end of every three-month cycle.
Combined pills are very safe for most women, but Seasonique is amongst the safest in the combined pill category as it has a lower risk of serious side effects, such as blood clots. And itโs also less likely than other pills to give the usual side effects like heavy bleeding, breast fullness and tenderness, headaches, fluid retention, tiredness, irritability, nausea and bloating.
Seasonique contains levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol, and these hormones have three main tasks to perform in your body. First, they stop ovulation โ this alone can prevent pregnancy, but Seasonique offers two extra layers of protection, just in case you end up ovulating anyways. The hormones prevent the build-up of the uterine wall so an egg canโt implant there, and they also make your cervical fluid thicker so sperm canโt get through. These three factors will make it very unlikely for you to get pregnant, and can also make your periods lighter.
Seasonique comes in two doses, the regular being called Seasonique, and a lower dose version called Lo-Seasonique. The lower dose is usually recommended if youโve tried Seasonique and had mild side effects, or it didnโt do a good enough job at managing your PMT symptoms.
Seasonique contains 84 pills with 0.15mg of levonorgestrel and 0.03mg of ethinyl estradiol, and 7 pills with 0.01mg of ethinyl estradiol.
Lo-Seasonique contains 84 pills with 0.1mg of levonorgestrel and 0.02mg of ethinyl estradiol, and 7 pills with 0.01mg of ethinyl estradiol.
The clinician who prescribes Seasonique to you will be able to give you detailed instructions on how to take it, and you should always follow your clinicianโs advice. But there are a few general guidelines you can keep in mind when taking birth control:
Take one pill a day with a glass of water; you donโt need to take it with food, but you can if you want to
Seasonique wonโt prevent pregnancy as soon as you start taking it; it can take up to 7 days for the hormones to give you optimum levels of protection. For that reason, you should continue using a barrier contraceptive method, such as a condom or spermicide, for the first week of you taking Seasonique
You need to take your pill at the same time every day; if the interval between pills exceeds 24 hours, the effectiveness of the hormones lowers, and you might become pregnant as a result. To help you remember, you should set an alarm on your phone to ring at the same time every day, and always carry the pills with you, in case youโre not at home when the alarm rings
It can take about seven days for you to get up to optimum levels of protection with Seasonique. To make sure that the hormones have time to get to work in the body, itโs better to be safe and continue using barrier contraception methods, such as a condom or spermicide, for the first week of taking Seasonique.
If you forget to take your pill, you should take it as soon as you remember. But if itโs almost time for your next one, just skip the one you missed and continue taking one a day as usual. You should also keep in mind that the interval between pills shouldnโt exceed 24 hours, and if it does so regularly, the effectiveness of the hormones lowers and you might become pregnant as a result.
To ensure that you donโt miss your pills, you should set an alarm on your phone to ring at the same time every day, and always carry the pills with you so you can take them at the correct time, even if youโre not at home when the alarm rings.
If on the other hand you accidentally take more Seasonique than you should, donโt worry, youโre likely going to be ok, as there have been no reports of fatal overdose caused by birth control. You might feel nausea and get light vaginal bleeding, this is no cause for alarm as itโs a normal reaction of taking too much birth control. But if your symptoms are severe and persistent you should seek emergency medical attention.
