Hello
i am on alesse and I have been for a few months now...
And at the beginning of my green pills, I was expecting my period, and it did not come...
So now im on a new pack of the pink pills...And I had read that with the pill sometimes doesnt give you a period on the 7 days off the hormones.
Now the thing is, I have had a period everytime I was on the placebos

so does that mean I could be pregnant?

Thats doesn't sound right, maybe try a home pregnancy test?

I really couldn't tell ya. Everyone reacts differently to birth control. I know I have two friends on tri cyclen,and they loved it and had no side effects or anything. I'm on it now, and i'm having crazy side effects. So it could be fine for you, who knows. I wouldn't worry if I were you.

December 20-january 4 my boyfriend gets home from out west...Will the break through bleeding continue? If I start a new pack will my period come anyway?
