I have been on Tri-cyclen for a year and a half, but I realized recently that my decreased sex drive could be from the pill. I asked my doctor about Alesse, so she gave me some samples today, but she also said it could make me spot. What are other people's experiences with this pilll? I don't want my boobs to get smaller (I read that could happen on another thread)! Did anyone else have spotting? How about sex drives? Let me know! Thanks!
Hmm well I was on that one for about 2 years or so and eventualy I did gain a lot of weight well make that about 15 lbs in those 2 years...not a LOT but when you consider I dieted heavily and lifted weights AND counted calories about 6 months straight, I actually GAINED 20 lbs last year But by then I'd switched to another pill (Yasmin) and, i've noticed weight going off now so the only thing I can say I had from Aleese is weight gain, and breast tenderness w/ also them getting bigger...

I was on Alesse for 4 yrs I gained 30 lbs in the 4 yrs-- and LOSS OF SEX DRIVE! Its awful.. All pills will give you loss of sex drive! Yeah I went back to get something they gave me a lower dose and well.. I've gained 8 lbs since july! Im officially going to go off the pill... Condoms are going to be my #1 I can't take the weight gain and it is IMPOSSIBLE to lose your weight that you've gained-- I tried eating right and workingout and all I did was gain weight!! DONE WITH IT! Im officially done taking my pills today! Good Luck
AHHHHHHHHHH! I'm so confused... I have friends who have taken it and they liked it, but then I am reading so many people who have gained weight and now the sex drive!! I HATE THE PILL! Because everybody is so different, it's so hard to know what it's going to do to you! Thanks for the replies... Take care.
I have been on Alesse for four years and out of all the BC I have used:
Depo, Ortho Novum, and others, it has been the best so far. I gained 25 lbs from Depo but with Alesse I had no weight fluctuation. I still have my double d's too, although sometimes I wish they would shrink
Nodi
But by then I'd switched to another pill (Yasmin) and, i've noticed weight going off now so the only thing I can say I had from Aleese is weight gain, and breast tenderness w/ also them getting bigger...
