"this is my 3rd day of taking alesse. i switched from loestrin 24 fe because my insurance would only cover $4 and was asking me to pay $67 for it. i am trying birth control to see if it may help even out my migraines. so far, not good. i am going on day 2 of a horrible migraine. i think once my body readjusts to the medicine, my headache will go away. i was the same way with the loestrin. i&#039;m not sure about any other side effects as my migraine has masked everything else."
