HATE it. but it's the lesser of the evil birth control pills  at least it doesn't make me homocidal like tricyclin did. I never really had any problems with Tricyclen. Or maybe they make me completely nuts and I just don't even realize it  I decided the increased headaches/migraines and the very noticable increase in my anxiety weren't worth it. So I'm trying Marvelon next. We'll see how that goes.

| This is so interesting... I've never taken anything other than Alesse and had no idea that other types of pills could potentially have very different effects. I'm happy to be on a very low dosage pill, I worry about the increased risk of cancer with exposure to higher levels of hormones, but my Dr told me that I don't need to worry about this with Alesse, as the risk is negligible compared to other factors such as diet. I do get breakthrough bleeding if a miss a pill or take it late (good to know this is normal!). I'm just really careful now to take it at roughly the same time everyday and haven't had a problem in a while. My periods are great- regular and shorter and lighter than ever and rarely any PMS. I've had acne since my teens and it may be a little better now, but definitely hasn't cleared up completely, which is a shame, but I would have it anyway I think. We still usually use back up protection, which is fine with us- and it sounds like it could be a good job that we do! So overall I think I'm happy with how it works for me, but it's good to know about some of the other options in case I ever decide to change...
Married April 22nd 2008 at Melia Las Dunas!
