Super Short Period From Alesse? Posted: 10-18-04 20:00pm
Hi everyone... My doctor switched me to
alesse last month since I was having all
kinds of problems with ortho tri cyclen
lo. I got my period yesterday and it's
still really light today despite how it's
been almost 48 hours since I started.
While on ortho, my period was just as
heavy as what it was when I was taking no
birth control. Is anyone else
experiencing extremely light and/or short
periods while taking alesse?
Thanks!
Nicole

I just went through my first pack of
alesse, too! Miune was very light and
only lasted with an actual flow (i don't
count smudges) for 3 days. However, I was
kinda stupid, I guess, and had sex on
saturday, the day it stopped and it caused
it to start up again through sunday. Then
monday it stopped. I did, though, have
some bleeding in the end of the 3rd week.
Very light but it kinda has me
worried....Hope it won't happen again....

Thanks you guys.
mine left altogether yesterday morning
which is great! Do you take your pill at
the exact same time everyday cassy? Low
dose birth control pills can cause weird
things to happen if you don't take them at
the same time everyday, unlike regular
birth control pills where it doesn't
matter as much. My doctor informed me of
that the last time I was in.
