>>��Knowing that people are 9X more likely to COMPLAIN than say something good, I am desperately searching for GOOD resultls with this BCP. I am about about to start it, after substantial weight gain with Demulen, then trying Ortho Cylcen with no weight loss either (but none of the mood swings and hair loss I experienced with Demulen). I realize everyone reacts different to every hormone, but am tired of reading complaints about Alesse when it's supposed to be good for a lot of things. If you have a encouraging tale, let me know!!

I have had a history of bacteria infections and have been on numerous types of pills. I started with a high dose one (forgot the name) moved to Ortho-tricyclen and then got off the pill. To worried about getting pregnant I started back on the pill with Alesse and switched because of a low sex drive to Loestrin and now I am back on the Alesse again because of weight gain. In the last four years I have gained 50 pound and most of it was in the last 2 years. When I got back on the Alesse my weight has stabilized but has not dropped. The only problem is the low sex drive.
