Hi! I just got a prescription of alesse,
an oral contraceptive, and I was
wondering, in the instructions, it says to
begin taking pills, starting with the
first active pill, on day 1. It then goes
on to say day 1 is the first day of
bleeding. Does this mean that I will have
a period on days 1-5, or that the active
pills will stop it?
Thanks for the time and answers in
advance.

Just as it says, take it on the first day
of your period. You will continue to
have a period - it may be shorter or
longer than usual, and 'spotting' is
common. It all depends how your body
reacts to the hormone.
Once you've finished all the active pills
in your pack, it'll take a couple of days
for your period to come. You'll get used
to the cycle with time, just follow the
instructions.
