I'm on an extended cycle pill, too (Seasonique) and I LOVE it. It shocks the pants off me that more women aren't clamoring to try it.
DolphinChica, you know you can take regular (i.e., the type where you get a period once every month) pills back-to-back and get the same effect, right? That's what I did before Seasonale/Seasonique came out. Seasonale/Seasonique just has fancy packaging. It's exactly the same as taking 3 months' pills back-to-back.
When you see a doc over there for a prescription, you could tell them that your American doc suggested it (going 3 pill cycles without a period.) It does really help for girls who get killer cramps or have really heavy periods.
Good luck - I really hope you can work out something and keep your extended cycle streak going!
