"i&#039;m on day 9 on alesse so far, not very far into it yet but so far i really like alesse. i was so badly traumatized from my first birth control experience as a teen it scared me to go on birth control again. yasmin was really bad for depression and weight gain i didn&#039;t like it. now i am married with children and wanted to try something else again, alesse is low dose so i figured maybe it might be different this time , it&#039;s way better! my mental health is extremely important, i feel a little tired on this pill but only minor, i will update again to see how it continues, so far so great."
