I am on Seasonale since March and have gained 5 pounds or so since. I am actually going to see a new Dr. in Feb. because all I do is have break through bleeding for weeks at a time with this pill. My other dr. didn't seem to feel it was a problem. I told him for me it is because I get cramping and mood swings. Good luck with the pill, I can't wait to stop taking it.
