Skipping Periods W/alesse Posted: 02-28-05 20:17pm
Has anyone here successfully skipped their
period while taking alesse? I know in
theory I should be able to skip mine
without a problem as with alesse, each
pill has the same amount of hormones,
(excluding the placebos, of course).
I know period skipping doesn't work with
pills that have fluctuating amounts of
hormones, like ortho tri cyclen lo. I
tried skipping my period while I was on
that one, and it resulted in total
disaster. I don't want to relive that
scenario if I can help it! :)
thanks!

I haven't specifically used alesse, but I
also take monophasic bc. I haven't had
any major problems skipping my period. I
think the first time I got a little
breakthrough bleeding, but it was real
light. Shouldn't be a problem now that
you're on alesse. :)

It is just up to your body. May as well
give it a shot, but remember to let
yourself have a period every third
month.
Also, you can skip your period on any kind
of pill, it is just some people can't do
it successfully with the different
hormones. I am not one of those people
either, but several of my friends are on
ortho and they skip very successfully.

Thanks for your advice! I think I might
give it a go.
