[katie_emma]

Well I'm on Alesse 21....and I'm not quite finished the package, but I'm bleeding, like my normal period... what is going on?!?!?!?

 

I'm so confused

How long have you been taking Alesse?

[katie_emma]

about 5 months

Taking over the recommended amount can cause such effects.

Have you took too much?

[katie_emma]

No.... thats why I'm confused...

[darkblue]

Strange.

 

I know that Birth Control can delay periods...

 

Consult your doctor.

How much are you bleeding?I had some spotting for the first time this month. I'm not taking Alesse but another brand of birth control. The doctor said that if it's just a one-time thing I shouldn't worry. Illness, increased stress, stomach issues if you eat something that doesn't agree with you - all of these things can cause a "blip", can cause your pill not to absorb properly one day during the month. She said in spite of that, the protection is still there. Made me feel a lot better. That being said, though, everyone is different, so you should see your doctor to make sure everything is ok.

I would bet anything it is because you havn't remember to take it at the exact same time. I would go to a higher dose pill. I've had similar situations. A nurse explained to be why really well but now I don't remember allt he physiological details. but it's harmless jsut annoying.
