Two Questions
| Fri, 08-18-2006 - 9:32am |
I have been on Alesse for four years and have two questions:
1. My significant other is routinely out of town every fifth week. By taking the pill would it be possible to have a period every fifth week instead of every fourth week? If I took 28 active pills followed by 7 inactive pills then 28 more active pills would I still be protected?
2. If taking the pill stops ovulation and regulates hormone levels, how come I still experience PMS-like symptons the week before my "period"? For example, I always have tenderness in my breasts the week before my period (3rd week of active pills). It would seem like that should not happen if the pill was working correctly?
THANKS!
