Hello ladies...! Actually, I've got two questions for you. So, the thing is, I've been taking the pill for now 4 years. I've been using Alesse from the start and I love it. No side effects, no weight gain, and awful abdominal pains during my period, which was really a problem in my teenage years, have disappeared...! And I had it for free for 4 years because I was part of a research on a new vaccine in a women's health clinic, and it was one of the privileges. So now the research is finish, my supplies are gone and I'm living in Thailand, where they don't have my beloved Alesse anywhere... So I tried another one, called Mercilon (I think) but stopped after 10 days, after I found myself suffering from headache all the time. Maybe it's a coincidence, and I might try it again, but do you have any advice on a better one that I could find at the pharmacy here (I lived in Chiang Mai)...? And the second question is : I've been taking the pills for 4 years, and I always start taking it the Sunday following my period. So when I ran out of Alesse, I went to the pharmacy, bought another brand and started the Sunday after my period like I did before. Then I had the headaches and stopped after 10 days, and two days later (on Dec. 11th), well, I was expecting it since it's quite normal, I had like a «fake» period. If I had carried on with the pill, I would have had it on the 22th of December, but I had had that «fake period» so nothing happened. But today, surprise, I have my period again...!! I didn't expect it before Jan. 18-19th since it would be my «normal» time (if I never had stopped on the pill), but now I'm really confused... should I start a new set of pill nest Sunday already...? I'm confused, I just don't know when my ovulation happens, now...!! Help...!
