I took Seasonique or Seasonale (the sister med with low dose estrogen in the withdrawl pills) for three years. I now take Lybrel which is taken continuously with no periods...EVER! I have not had a period in 18 months. If you take your medicine religiously, you know you aren't pregnant because you've been taking your medicine. If you are a nervous nelly, you can take a pregnancy test every month (which I did periodically until I got used to it.) If I was pregnant, it'd be the longest pregnancy ever! LOL After awhile, your ovaries are so controlled by the pill that you don't even have break through bleeding. Your likelihood of having a pregnancy is extremely low. BTW, I take Lybrel because of migraines and a need to prevent pregnancy. When I am on the withdrawl week, I will have 2 migraines per day every day until I start the pills again. Every three months was fine for awhile until they came out with Lybrel which made it possible for me to never have to do it again. It's been heaven!
