Has anyone taken the Aleese BCP and if so, any side effects from it? I've been on BCP Loovral for nearly 16 years. Came off of it just within the past four months to have the test for menopause done. Since coming off, been having heavy periods so my doctor put me on Aleese to help with the flow. Come to find out, I am in the early stages of perimenopause. Just wasn't sure which way to go. Taking Aleese or having my tubes tide. Don't want kids so that's not a problem.:cool:
