"i was on alesse 28 since i was 17 (2012) and never missed a day for 3 years. it made me extremely moody, i had horrible acne, it didn&#039;t help relieve pain for my periods at all and lost my appetite altogether because it always felt like it was stuck in my throat. although my boobs came in when i started this, i hated it. in the summer of 2015, i became pregnant while on this bcp for 3 years, and my partner wore a condom. after i stopped taking it, my skin cleared completely, i was no longer psychotic and i was actually happy! my periods are still horrible but i don&#039;t ever want to go back!! i&#039;m still looking for a new type of bcp but i&#039;m never going back to alesse 28"
