Has anyone used alesse? If so, do you
like it? Side affects?
My doctor just changed me from tri cyclen
to alesse because I had no sex drive....
*crosses fingers* lets hope it does the
trick

My Alesse Experience Posted: 07-01-04 13:21pm
I was ortho-tricylen for years. Been on
alesse for about a year now. Its not bad;
my periods got very lite though and only
lasted 2-3 days (not an awful thing). I
also would have my period as due for 2
months, skip a month. Now however I have
not had one in 3 months. Not pregnant
though! Kind of nice to go w/o one but I
have the the back pain each month
regardless. Thats the not so great part.
I have today however called my dr office
since this is the week I should've started
just to make sure there isnt anything to
worry about.
But overall side effects to the
bad--none.
Good luck.

Not to scare or discourage you...
I was on alesse before moving to yasmin.
Alesse killed my sex drive. Its not much
better with yasmin.
I talked to my gyno about it. She said
that the hormones in bcps decrease the
amount of testosterone in your system.
The testosterone is what makes you have a
sex drive...So it doesn't matter which
bcps I take, or someone takes...The bcp
hormones kill the chances...
Sorry...

Hey lilgothchick,
all birth control pills do different
things to different users. For example
scubaduba, just said that she has problems
with her sex drive when using yasmin, I
myself am on yasmin, and do not have that
problem at all, it's kind of like the
opposite, I don't know maybe its because I
now can have unprotected sex!
...Lol!!!.... Don't think i'm crazy me
and my boyfriend have been together for
almost two years and we are practically
engaged. So like I said before, no matter
what people tell you, you won't know which
one works for you until you try it. I
know that sucks, but that's just the way
it is.

I'm about to start the sugar pills on my
first pack of alesse ever. I am
absolutely horrible with pills, I get all
the side effects and have had bad
experiences with medication.
But alesse has been extremely good for me.
First night I started, I started my
period. I usually get extremely sick on
my first night and don't sleep what so
ever. First night I took the pill I
slept and I wasn't sick like I usually am.
I've been having light bleeding ever
since and a few other minor aches. It's
been great for me so far, and I expected a
lot worse.
Even though it's different for everyone,
you shouldn't have any real problems on
it. And as for my sex drive, it's
normal.

The only reason I stay on alesse is
because it makes my periods extremely
short and light... I'd rather put up
with the terrible pms and cramping it
causes then to go back on ortho tri cyclen
lo which gave me heavier, irregular
cycles. Birth control basically works
differently for everyone, so good luck!

Some of you have said that you lost your
sex drive when you went on Alesse, have
any of you noticed that your climax has
changed when on it as well. Like not
experiencing orgasms?

Hi!
When I stopped taking Diane 35 back in
March, I had went onto Alesse because it
was suppose to be good for getting rid of
acne. Well, those three months of being
on them were hell. My acne got even worse
and I was getting a lot of spotting on the
third month as well as feeling sick to my
stomach.
I've been on Yasmin for two months now and
aside from a little spotting before my
period, I've had no problems with it and
its cleared up my skin a great deal.
All you can do is try it. If it's not
working for you then talk to your doctor
about trying a different pill.
