A member asked:
Im taking seasonale. is it possible to have pms symptoms while taking birth control. ive been more weepy than usual. i struggle with depression also?

No: If you are taking Seasonale, you are not menstruating so you cannot have premenstrual syndrome. You may have an anxiety / depression disorder that is potentially exacerbated by the hormones but to your question, it is not PMS. Talk to your doctor about changing the pill to a different progesterone or different estradiol dosing to see if that helps.
