Switching to Alesse from Ortho

I am switching from Ortho Novum 777 to Alesse next month and was wondering if other women were happy with Alesse? I had my tubes tied back in April and don't need it for birth control just to manage my periods which I don't have with the Ortho, but I feel like my sex drive has been very low for many years. (limited feeling) etc. I have been on Ortho since I was sixteen and I talked to my doctor about this and she perscribed the Alesse. Can you skip your period on the Alesse? I really love not having a period but I just want to get that loving feeling back. (if you know what I mean) I hope the Alesse is a better option for me and would like some feedback if you have been happy with this pill and what side effects come with it. I am so worried about changes after being on the Ortho for so long (16 years) but I think it is time to make a change because I know my hormones are different from when I was younger. Any info would help.
