text: how fast does seasonale start to work?   my doc said within 2 weeks as far as protection goes.  i've been using for a year now.  but i never go 3 months without bleeding/spotting.  the first time i went 6 weeks, then had spotting for a few days.  after my first period on it, i went 8 weeks the next time, with spotting for a few days.  but its so much better than having a period every 28 days.  i love it.
