Hi, I started taking Alesse Feb 24th. I was supposed to start them between the 18th and 20th..but they came via mail too late. I got them to stop having periods so started taking them right away anyways. My period was due the 14th of this month but started reallly light on the 11th. I thought it was gone on the 18th since I had not seen anything since Saturday Morning so I had sex and DAMN.. blood everywhere! so, waited a few more days - not seeing anything since Monday night and tried sex again last night ( WED) and same problem. I am totally hating this and its also gross. I suspect it is just the late start on the pills since I have never had this happen before but does anyone know about this or have had this happen? and any idea how to make it stop! I have not taken a break from the pills and have even tried taking 2 since Monday but I guess it's not working. Any ideas on what 2 do or expect?! Please help. thank you. p,.s I am 33

Alesse in an ultra low dose pill. It is essential that you take it at the same time everyday to prevent breakthrough bleeding. If the bleeding does persist then you may just need a stronger pill. I took Alesse had had breakthrough bleeding the entire time I was on it. It takes about 3 months for your body to regulate to the pill. So wait till then to see what happens. But if it doesn't stop after an entire cycle then switch pills then.

Your problem is likely due to taking them later than you were supposed to or you need a different pill.
I am taking Alesse, this never happened to me.
Your best bet would be to see your Gyn.

It just means your pills aren't a high enough dose of estrogen for you. Everyone's different. Go back to the Dr to get a different kind.

I had the similar problem when I started taking Ortho-Trycyclen. I stopped them and had my doctor prescribe my something else.

Go to the doctor and get check. Have thought at taking the shots, that stop your cycles too. Please stop taking those pills.
