this is normal for that pill Alesse I have been on it too for 4 months and barely get my period.
it has to do with this pill. I have to switch because with this pill I spot brown blood for about 10 days in between then I hardly get my period.
I wouldn't worry about being pregnant it is highly unlikely.
