Alesse Side Effects - Bruising Posted: 05-30-06 18:50pm
I am 40 and my doc put me on alesse 1.5
months ago to help eliminate heavy
periods. It works great but I started
to set these spots on my leg and on my
hand that turn into little bruises. They
are gone in a few days and now I have a
blood blister in my mouth!!! Is this a
side effect of alesse?
I have lost weight and my periods are way
lighter so I don't want to give it up.
But these bruises quite frankly freek me
out. Any advice would be great.

I've used alesse for 6 months and never
really had that side effect. The only
problem I had was a decrease in libido as
with many other pills before that. I
recently got an iud (www.Paragard.Com)
inserted, and really like it so far. I
was looking for non-hormonal method of
birth control. Maybe you should let your
doc know about this.
