Tracey,
I took Alesse for one month and loved it. I had to stop due to blood
clots from something unrelated, and was disappointed for that reason.
Alesse stopped my cramps completely. I had been on virtually every
other OCP made, and Alesse was the only one that worked well for me.
Hope this helps.
