You don't HAVE to wait three months. If you're in the middle of your second pack and still bleeding go back to your gyno and change pills. Alesse is very low dose, so chances are its too low dose for you, and the break through bleeding isn't going to stop until you change to a higher dose pill. Yes you can still have sex with your boyfriend without a condom as long as you're both STD free. You may or may not have a period during your placebo week. If you're bleeding a lot during the active pills, you'll probably have a very light period, or no period at all. And yes, keep taking your pill. If you stop, you will not be protected if you have sex without a backup.
