Alesse is commonly called the pill. Various forms of the birth control pill have been proven to be both highly effective (99%) and extremely convenient to millions of women. Alesse works in two ways, it prevents the woman’s body from releasing an egg and it also prevents a man’s sperm from being able to enter the uterus. Combined these two measures make it extremely difficult for a woman to get pregnant. Alesse is extremely convenient for women, not only is it packaged to be easy to use but also conceals easily in a purse or handbag. Alesse (levonorgestrel + ethinyl estradiol) is an estrogen and progestin combination contraceptive pill used to prevent pregnancy. Alesse can also be used continuously; so a woman never has to stop taking Alesse, unlike other forms of birth control. If a woman decides she wishes to get pregnant and has been taking Alesse, all she has to do is stop taking the medication and she will have her normal ability to become pregnant again restored. Alesse is a low dose hormone pill. It can also make women’s menstrual cycles more regular and lighter. Alesse has also been shown to reduce the chances for both ovarian and uterine cancer. more info...

Seasonale® (ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel) is an extended-cycle oral contraceptive that lets you have just 4 periods a year. Seasonale tablets are indicated for the prevention of pregnancy, and used daily as a birth control pill. Besides preventing pregnancy, similar birth control pills have been shown to decrease anemia, painful periods (dysmenorrhea), ovarian cysts, the number of episodes of pelvic inflammatory disease, and decrease the occurrence of certain cancers (uterine, ovarian). Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., HIV, gonorrhea). Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel are hormones that affect the ovulatory and menstrual cycle of women. Ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel prevent ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary), therefore preventing the possibility of pregnancy. Seasonale may also inhibit pregnancy by causing the cervical mucous to thicken, which makes it harder for sperm to move toward the uterus, and reducing the likelihood of attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus. Seasonale (levonorgestrel + ethinyl estradiol) is an extended-cycle contraceptive pill (birth control pill) containing a progestin and an estrogen. more info...
