I am taking Alesse and I do not have any bleeding?

The user is asking about not having a period while taking Alesse. It is important to note that the bleeding that occurs during the hormone-free period is not an actual menstrual period, but rather withdrawal bleeding. This is a common occurrence with birth control pills that inhibit ovulation. Not having a period while on a contraceptive pill is a possible side effect and does not necessarily indicate a problem. If someone wishes to have a menstrual period, they can stop taking the contraceptive pill.
