Birth control pill....

by t_anunson, Oct 08, 2003 12:00AM
Hi my doctor just recently put me on Alesse-28 birth control pill to prevent pregnancy. I was taking Ortho Tri-cyclen, but it ran up my blood pressure and I stopped using it. I`m gonna be on 20 mg of the Alesse-28 now. Has anyone else taken this birth control, and if so, did you have any side effects? Thanks...

I was on Alesse for a few years and had no problems with it at all - seems to be a good pill.

Thanks, I`m gonna start taking it Sun. I hope it goes well! What do you do for birth control now? Have any kids? I have a 1 yr old little girl.....

Actually I went off Alesse for about 9 months.... we were trying to conceive for a few months within that time period, and used a condom when we weren't trying.  After a couple of months of trying, we got pregnant.  Unfortunately, it ended in an ectopic miscarriage.  So after a few months of going through that ****, we decided to go back on the pill.  So I just started Alesse again a few weeks ago.  I didn't have any nasty side-effects from it at all.  And no, I don't have any kids... but someday I hope to!!  Take care :)

I have been taking Alesse since April 2002, and I haven't had any problems with it.  It works great and I have no side effects, in fact I only have cramps about once every 4-5 months, and I used to get them really bad before taking the pill.

I`m getting ready to start it tommorrow. I`m excited to go back on the pill because we are NOT ready for another baby. We love our daughter, but kids are a lot of work! And I had a lot of health problems after she was born. I just hope this Alesse doesn`t run my blood pressure up like Ortho Tri-Cyclen did. Well take care all..... Bye!
