"alesse has been working really well for me. in the last month i&#039;ve gained 3 lbs in what i believe to be water weight, as i feel quite bloated. either way i can easily work 3 lbs off. i have been a bit nauseous on it as i take alesse in the morning, but nothing unmanageable. i haven&#039;t had any spotting. i&#039;ve had a bit of breast tenderness, but nothing that bothers me. i have been a bit tired, so i just have a little extra coffee in the morning. overall i&#039;ve had a good experience so far with alesse."
