"i have been on alesse for 4 years and am very pleased. before i was on alesse i was naturally very moody and my periods were heavy, long, and painful. when i started this pill my mood swings evened out and my period not only got less painful but shortened to only 3 days. i was a little concerned about how quickly i would get pregnant when my husband and i decided it was time but no worries there. i came off the pill new years 2009 and was pregnant by valentines. it is now january 2010 and i&#039;m holding a beautiful baby girl. i plan on going back on alesse as soon as possible."
