I've been on this for a month and after the first two days I had spotting occur and it hasn't stopped since. I never had this problem when I was off birth control and when I was on Seasonique, unfortunately it's quite costly.I've also been extremely tired and experienced depression while on this pill. I'm switching as soon as this month ends.

I use Alesse and it works in that I have not gotten pregnant and that it drastically lightens my periods. The bad thing is that ever since I started taking it 3 years ago I've been tired all of the time. Morning, noon and night! It's getting worse so I'm going to stop taking this pill. I want my life back.

I was on it for 2 years and never had any problems. My periods were predictable and it decreased my cramping and bleeding. I still had a period for 6 days but with light bleeding, it's not that bad.

I have been on Alesse for a long time, and it never works as it should. My period was unpredictable in the sense that even if my pack said my period wasn't due for a week, it could come any time. Sometimes it would come a week early, sometimes a week late. I did not get pregnant on this (but we do use condoms).

I was on Alesse for over 5 years and never had any side effects. It was recently discontinoued and I'm now realizing how great it was. Every pill I've tried since makes me sore, bloated and causes strange mood swings.
