A Cheaper Way to Skip Your Period
The invention of Seasonale and Seasonique opened a whole new world for ladies of child-bearing age. A world that involves only having 4 periods a year!
Sounds like a dream come true, right ladies? The only catch is these birth control pills are quite pricey, even with the help of your prescription insurance (there are exceptions with certain insurances). Seasonale does have a couple of generics on the market, but even those can put a dent in your wallet!
But what you may not know is there’s a cheaper way to take advantage of this whole 4 periods a year deal. Watch the video below to find out what I’m talking about!
Just to clarify:
- If you are prescribed a birth control pack that contains 28 tablets, be sure to skip over the last row of pills (the “sugar” pills) and continue your daily regimen by jumping right to first tablet of your next new pack…DO NOT skip any days or take any of those “sugar” pills!
- Be sure your doctor writes the directions on your birth control prescription as “Take one tablet a day continuously for 3 months.” Continuously is the key word here because this way your pharmacist knows you’ll need a new pack in 3 weeks (21 days) versus 4 weeks (28 days). This may sound like useless information, but trust me, we need to know because we have to submit this information to your insurance company so they’ll pay for your next pack when you need it!
- This only works for Monophasic birth control packs…the packs where all of the pills are the same color (not a different color every week).
