is anybody else on alesse?
im only 16 and have a precription here to get it....but im scared.
are there side effects, cautions, problmes, anything i should think about before i start?
ive read it can cause weight gain :S
im trying to LOSE weight right now, and this is one of my major issues of NOT going on...
"This medication can cause birth defects" ive read :S and this is a big problem, my bf doesnt want me to go on becuase of it might make me gain weight, i was shocked at this, he knows im trying to lose weight but inside, i think he wasnt me to lose it to, fgor my sake in feeling better of myslef. im not overweight, i couls lose 20-30lbs tho.
there are other side effect tho, like increasing my chance of getting breast cancer.
i just wanna know...is anybody on it? i need to make a decission.

Hi queenchaos16, welcome!

first, that link was alot of help:)
thanks, ive been reading it and i read "Difficulty wearing contact lenses" in potential risks...i wear contacts, is there a chance this could be a problem?
i also read somewhere there cold be serious risks oif you use it for 5+ years, is this true?
one more thing tho...kind of stupid, but meh.
i told my bf, "well once im on for a month or two, we can have unprotected sex and not have to worry"
being a guy, you would think he would be happy?
apparently not, he still wants to use condoms as well.
so the question is, i CAN have UNprotected sex and not have to worry about getting pregnant, right?
