Birth Control
"I spent almost 2 years on alesse 28. My first couple months were okay. I experienced severe nausea and gained 10 pounds but lost them shortly after. I took Alesse routinely at 10 pm. My first month on it I woke up with sweats, seeing &quot;stars&quot; and started vomiting. I assumed it was a bug until it happened the following week again. My doctor told me to give it 3 months so I did. This continued about once every 1-2 months at the same time during the night. I began living with gravol in my back pocket until I had enough. I came off alesse and have not had any midnight &quot;episodes&quot; and feel so much better. It was effective in preventing pregnancy although I always use backup methods anyways. My periods were short and light &amp; minor cramps"
