"alesse 28 is the first birth control pill my doctor prescribed and the only pill i have ever taken and is still currently taking.  i chose to go on the pill because i believe it is best option and the most convenient for me to prevent pregnancy while regulating my period.  my average period cycle is 36-39days and tends to be irregular than most.  i have been on the pill for almost 2 weeks now and so far, so good.  my body seem to have adjusted well to alesse 28.  the only side effects i experienced were very mild headaches, and nausea during the first 2 days of starting the pill.  i also experienced a little breast tenderness during the first week.  but no mood swings, or weight gain/loss.  overall, great birth control pill."
