I have used Seasonique and it worked for me for awhile. I agree with Ally, my endo doctor suggested the same thing to me and it worked great taking BC pills continously. I used Femcon/Ovcon to do this with. I would take mine continous until I would start to spot. Stop pills 5 days for a period, then start up again. You have to do this with a mono-phasic pill (meaning level hormone pill)

You can't use most of the Ortho brand pills because the hormone levels change in the pack each week.

Hopefully that makes sense.
