Default cyclessa?

Is or has anyone taken this before? I am having a terrible time finding out info. on it. My RE and pharmacist aren't sure how it compares to other low dose pills. I am considering it in place of Alesse. I feel great on Alesse, moods, cramping, bloating wise, but am concerned about acne and hair returning slightly. ANy one want to share their experiences on this new One? Help greatly appreciated. You ladies are my best resources on this PCOS gear!!!
Thanks Christine

Default I take cyclessa

http://www.organoninc.com/products/c...yclessa_c.html

That is the web site. This pill has improved my acne and hair. I also feel better on it mood-wise. My period comes normally and it is a bit heavier on this pill than when I was on Yasmin (almost nothing)

It is worth trying in my opinion.

It contains 25 mcg of estrogen all cycle thru.
And it contains- 100, 125 and 150 mcg of desogestrel week 1, 2 and 3 respectively. This makes it lower in progestin than mircette or desogen but since it is triphasic it controls breakthru bleeding and may be better for sex drive.

The Last week is placebo of course. I usu get my period on the 3rd placebo day.


Best of Luck!
