I've been taking Alesse since I was 18 (I am 24 now) and haven't had any problems in all that time. My period has always been the same every month.

About 4 months ago I very significantly overhauled my diet. I'm eating "clean" so I've been avoiding refined sugars and processed food and I am eating high protein and relatively low carb. When I first started the diet, I did spot a little (which I was actually warned might happen because of my diet) but then I balanced out, went back to normal and everything has been fine.

About 3 months ago, I started taking the "generic" version of Alesse because it's quite a bit cheaper than the "name brand". Switching to it was no problem, I experienced no side effects at all. I haven't missed any pills ever.

About a week ago, I decided to really buckle down on my diet in preparation for my Jamaica vacation in 11 days (I want to look great in that new bikini I bought!), which basically just means I've been avoiding "cheats" (I usually treat myself once or twice a week to something "bad").

Well, this morning I woke up and I wasn't just spotting, I full blown have my period! I have cramps and everything, a full 2 weeks before I am supposed to actually have it!

Should I be concerned? What do you suppose caused this? My Fiance is worried my pill may not be working, but I haven't had any issues for 3 months. What should I do?

ETA: This is also an EXTREMELY heavy period compared to what I am used to. Normally I have a very light period (I use 2-3 regular tampons max usually), but today I've gone through 2 tampons already and I'm on to my third since this morning!

I'm really late but in case you are still on it my MD is convinced that the drugs are not the same. He gave me specific instructions to ask for the name brand and gave me a card so that the pharmacy would have to give me Alesse.
