Bleieve it or not, the doctor thinks that i'm on a pill that's too HIGH for me. He says that makes sense because all my tests came back fine, my IBS hasn't been a problem, and my off-time of the pill has seen me FINE. So I'm on Alesse for now. Wish me luck. I'm happy. And if all else fails, what can happen? a baby? always a blessing. -------------------- Keep on keepin' on...

I can't take estrogen based pills because this is what happens to me too, I just bleed every day of the month! I'm glad you're trying the lower estrogen pill. If that doesn't work either, there's always depo which I adore. No more estrogen for me! Between the headaches and blood, no wonder it was so effective for me as b/c. I didn't want to be touched!! OK, I'll get off my soapbox! ~nelly~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     I hope this does the trick!       #244656 - 02/07/06 09:27 AM Edit Reply Quote ChristineM Reged: 05/31/04 Posts: 1662 Loc: soCal I had spotting with Alesse, but every woman's body is different.

From the research I did the women who took Alesse didn't all gain weight, and they concluded that it depends on the person, and also if they continued with the same amount of physical activity as before.

I mean, I did gain weight at one point, but it wasn't the pill's fault.
