Alesse - Early Period While On the Pill + How Effective ? Posted: 10-31-07 23:08pm
I have been taking Alesse for about a
month and a half now, and I am 16 years
old. Last month my period came a few days
before the sugar pills began, but I was
sure my body was only adjusting to the
pills. However, I am now on my second pack
on pills (today I took Pill #10) and today
I had some spotting. I have never missed
a pill, however both today and two days
ago (Pill # I took
significantly later in the day. (I
usually take the pills around 9:00AM but
both days I took them around 4:00-5:00,)
What are the possible reasons for the
early periods? Stress? Pregnancy?
Low-something levels? Wrong pill dosage?
Also, I was wondering how effective the
pill was after one month, two months,
three months? I believe that it was high
90's percent effective, but how long does
it take a woman's body to get to that
level of effectiveness?

It's okay if your period comes early. Make
sure to take ALL the active pills anyway,
even if your period does start.
The pill is as effective as it's gonna get
after just one WEEK of taking it
correctly.
It is around 97-99% effective when taken
perfectly, and 92-95% with typical use
(the way you're using it).
