I had great luck with it. Absolutely no side-effects, no weight gain, etc. I started on the 28s and eventually went to the 21s.

That was years ago, before 2 years of hell with Depo Provera injections. Now I just started Alesse-21 (last night was first pill) and I'm not liking what everybody has to say about it!!

I gained 25 pounds from Depo that I'm fighting to get off (stopped taking Depo 3 years ago), if I gain a POUND from Alesse I'm off it.

>>��I've been on it for a year now and have gained about 15-20lbs that I cannot get rid of. Also has been giving me a yeast infection EVERY MONTH at the same time. No mood problems though.
>>��I've switched to Marvelon that is supposed to not have the weight gain side effects. Does anyone know about it? I start them in 2 days.
