Lighter And Lighter Periods On the Pill Posted: 07-29-05 13:09pm
I've been on alesse for over 4 years
(except for a 6 months stint on the patch)
with no real problems. I've noticed,
however, that since switching back to
alesse from the patch (a year ago) my
periods have gotten lighter and lighter
each month, to now where they literally
come and go in one day. It's a little
nerve wracking for me as i'm in no
position to get pregnant right now, and
although we always use condoms in addition
to me taking the pill regularly, these
near-nothing periods don't sit comfortably
with me. I was wondering if anyone else
has had this problem on alesse (or any
other low-dose pill)? Also, can anyone
offer any suggestions about a different
pill I could switch to that might lengthen
my period? Thanks in advance!
