I was wondering if any of you has ever gotten pregnant while on the pill assuming you have been taking it correctly.


I'm on Alesse and noticed yesterday that i had some brown spotting (very unusual for me as i never spot). I am expecting my period in 9 days.

What other drugs will affect Alesse?

Some drugs can make Alesse less effective, which may result in pregnancy. Before using Alesse, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs:




  • acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ascorbic acid (vitamin C);



  • prednisolone (Orapred);



  • theophylline (Respbid, Theo-Dur);



  • cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune, Gengraf);



  • St. John's wort;



  • an antibiotic;



  • seizure medications;



  • a barbiturate sedative such as secobarbital (Seconal), or phenobarbital (Luminal, Solfoton); or



  • HIV or AIDS medications.

I found this interesting as tylenol can make it less effective.
