Seasonale and Seasonique are both pill types that will only give you 4 periods a year. I think the difference is, Seasonique has low dose estrogen in the period week instead of placebo (nothing) like Seasonale. This is supposed to make a adjustment between the hormone weeks and period week better. You know, if you miss what your ob/gyn says, you can always ask your pharmacist. S/he can explain all this too.

Seasonique requires women to take a pill combining levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol for 84 consecutive days, followed by seven days of ethinyl estradiol.
Seasonique differs from Seasonale. The Seasonale regimen involves 84 days of the combination pill (as above) followed by seven days of a placebo.

You are paying for her services. If she isn't clear or goes to fast for you, tell her you still don't understand. This is too important to ask a bunch of strangers. You should call her office. Either the doctor or one of the nurses should be available to answer your questions. If they are unwilling, you should find a new doctor.
