note on seasonale
Seasonale isn't really anything new, they just packaged pills that have been around for ages to market them differently. They are making it easier (and now an approved way) for patients to "tricycle", something many clinicians have been doing off label for years. It's just a monophasic pill that you take 84 active days and 7 inert/placebo pills. Nothing new, safe as the regular pill. I use this quite a bit with women who have "menstrual migraines", heavy bleeding, mood swings, etc.
BTW-I also would recommend checking out the Creighton NFP information, it really is effective but you do have to work at it-both of you!!! I find that usually the woman is very receptive, but depending on her partner, it may not be a great fit. But it is a wonderful alternative that I really recommend!
