"i was put on alesse 28, it&#039;s the first birth control i&#039;ve been on and my overall experience has been good. when i first went on it i could barely keep my hands of my boyfriend but i blame it mostly on having a slight hormone imbalance. i also experienced an increase in breast size but i was told that it was a possible side effect. then i missed a pill and even though i followed procedure it triggered my period. then after that i kept spotting and was getting really frustrated. it would stop for a couple days then start up again for a couple days, then it magically stopped and i didn&#039;t have any problems after that. i found out later that you can have spotting within the first three months. other then that i have less acne and lighter periods."
