"i started on alesse when i was 15 and it was the first birth control pill i had ever used. the first night i got awful headaches, and they carried on for the rest of the week. after that, i became very moody and just about anything could make me cry. honestly that was the worst part, i&#039;ve never been more moody and sad in my life. after about four months i began getting two periods a month, and i finally got fed up and switched pills."
