Birth Control
"I started taking Alesse about 3 years ago.  It has no effect on my mood, I never gained weight on it, and I basically feel pretty normal when I take it. Of course, I don&#039;t think anyone is a fan of actually getting a period every month, and mine usually last 7 days, sometimes even longer. So, my doctor just prescribed me Seasonique and I start that next month.  It will be interesting to see if it really only makes you have a period every 3 months. As for Alesse it is great if you don&#039;t mind having a period every month."
