"i&#039;m 20 years old and have been taking alesse for 2 years now. it has done wonders for my period, no cramps or bloating, period is so much lighter and manageable. i haven&#039;t had any acne problems or weight gain. my moods have been affected but i believe its only around the time i get my period. as for the tenderness of breasts, i only feel it if something accidentally hits them, other than that the pain isn&#039;t noticeable or disturbing. another plus is the pill is extremely small and easy to swallow, i hate taking pills. i definitely recommend this pill."
