Q: Period before 21 days on Alesse

Hi,
This was my second month of using alesse- 21. I have had a lot of side effects on the medication, varrying from acne, migranes, mood swings, depression and weight gain!
I stopped taking alesse this month before finishing the 21 days. I got my period on the 3rd day after I stopped. It is about 2 weeks early. Is that normal? Please let me know.
Regards,
Niven

When you stop taking birth conttrol it can cause your cycle to be irregular. I have no idea how long it will take for your body to adjust to being off the pill and there is no way to know how long your period will last. Going off birth control can cause irregular periods, longer periods, shorter periods, spotting between periods... you name it.
