I wan to start going on birth control for my cramping and also as a contraceptive but I'm a little weary about some things. I've spoken to my doctor and I've spoken to friends who are also on birth control. I have a package of alesse 28 and I've just began my period yesterday. It usually lasts 3 days but in case it happens to last until Sunday or even past Sunday, do I still take my first pill on Sunday too? Also, I got my first package of Alesse for free from my doctor, is there a difference in price from the 28 to the 21 pack? I'm taking it a few months ahead of the time that I'm expecting to have sex not because I'm trying to plan it but because I've heard it's good to start a couple cycles before so your body gets used to it and also because it helps a lot with cramps and irregular cycles.
Thanks
