But I can't go off of a lo-dose pill because of my diabetes, so the docs gave me other ideas. But that's the only real change I've experienced.

But why change a good thing? If you love Alesse, why switch?
What's Levlen? I've never heard of that. I'm on Yasmin and at $47 a month, I can't afford it anymore, but I also can't afford the excruciating cramps 1-2 week "visits".
