Alesse - Started Period Early
Posted: 03-15-05 11:36am

Hello,

i've been on alesse for almost a year now... But this month something weird happened

i got my period before I finished the pack. I have 3 more days left (so about 5 before I usually start my period) but I started my period last night.

What is going on?

Hey goth,

you're experiencing something that women everywhere have complained and questioned about for quite some time. There is a chance while on alesse your period will come early, sometimes even a week in advance. Nothing to be alarmed about. Finish your tablets as usual to continue the hormones in your body.

I'm also on alesse and my period almost never comes at the same time each month... One month it's 3 days into the placebos, then the next month it comes when I still have one week left of the pink pills. What a pain!

Do you happen to be under a lot of stress, feeling ill, or taking antibiotics? All of those things can alter the date your period occurs and/or result in breakthrough bleeding.
