Alesse?

I'm looking for a BCP that has low side effects, I'm thinking of switching to Alesse, does anyone have experience with this pill? Or have any other suggestions?

I'm on Tri-norinyl right now, but I've probably been on a dozen different pills over the last 5 years. I have really severe PMS/PMDD and excessive bleeding when I'm not on the pill...believe it or not I'm going on the pill to try to help with the PMS/PMDD!

The problem is I have add'l side effects from the pill: excessive weight gain, nasiousness, cramps, reduced sex drive, etc.
For some reason, when I was younger the Pill actually helped with my PMS, I just cant take all the other side effects anymore.

I'm also wondering if having my tubes tied will help with any of this?

Having your tubes tied will probably not help with your PMS--all that does is physically block the fallopian tubes so that sperm and egg can't meet.
