Birth Control
"Alesse-28 was the first oral contraceptive I&#039;ve taken. I usually have a very heavy flow and my period would be a full week and would never come at the same time every month, but since I started to take Alesse-28, my period has become VERY regulated and my flow is light and lasts usually around 3-4 days only. The best thing I would say is that I don&#039;t get cramps anymore. Before taking the pill, I&#039;d be pretty much bedridden. I get only a very slight pain now, but it&#039;s barely noticeable! It also helped with my acne! I had a lack of appetite when I started the pill and I lost 7lbs in one month. The worst parts were the nausea, major mood swings, slight depression (cried every night), anxiety, and the lack of motivation in everything."
