"I was on Alesse for a little over 5 years and never had a problem.  No side effects, and light periods that lasted about 3 or 4 days.  I got off of the pill when I separated with my husband about a year and 1/2 ago because of the cost, but I miss the light periods, lack of cramps, and the benefit of fewer break outs."
