"For four months, I have suffered from constant cramps, 24/7. My doctor finally took an ultrasound and found two very large cysts. One was filled with blood. He explained to me this is why I am in so much pain. I also have been experiencing other symptoms: thinning hair, low back pain/throbbing, nausea, ill feeling, facial hair, etc. I went back in, and he finally put me on birth control pills. I am 37 and taking birth control pills for the first time. I am almost two weeks into taking them, and to my relief, I have not suffered any bad side effects, but it's still early. I can only hope that this is a good sign. And I can only hope that my pain will subside and my cysts will dissolve. I have my fingers crossed. Wish me luck!"

"This is my first time on birth control, and I've heard so many stories about how Aviane gets you all irritated and nauseous, but so far, in the one week I've been using it, I feel perfectly normal. I'm not sure if that is because I just started, only time will tell. I'm not having any cramping in my ovaries because of my cysts so far. 10 out of 10 for me!"

"I've been taking Aviane for about 2 months, going on three. The first two months were great, now that I am on the third pack, I've been feeling really nauseated. Although it did help with severe cramps, I do not like feeling like I have to throw up all the time. It also cleared up my face a little."

"I have been on Aviane for 2 months now going on three. Within the first month, I've experienced headaches, depression, mood swings, severe cramping, and bloating, as well as stomach gain (which went down). All of those symptoms went away by the second month of taking this pill, which I've experienced lighter periods. I still have mood swings and get depressed at times, but I have very bad breakouts all over my face, chin, and neck, as well as black marks on my forehead. I've always had acne, but I've never experienced it this badly. I will continue to take it for the 3rd and 4th month just to see if anything gets better, and I will keep you posted."

"I was switched to this generic after being on many others, including the same Rx formula and other formulas in the past. This was by far the worst pill I've ever taken as far as being ineffective for hormone control. My ovarian cysts returned, I had more painful periods, acne, bloating, mood swings, and the feeling of not wanting to be near or touched by anyone. Once I was back on my previous brand of generic for 2 months, I stabilized completely again."

"This is a terrible drug. I have tried 5 or 6 different birth control pills, but this one was unbearable. It gave me panic attacks, nausea, dizziness, and high blood pressure. I didn't last a week. I would never ever recommend this birth control pill. I can't wait until it is 100% out of my system."

"I have been taking this drug for 4 weeks so far, and I am highly disappointed. I have an ovary cyst, and I need to block my period completely for several months to see what is happening (the cyst is growing with each period). Instead, 19 days after my last period, I got slight bleeding, then it got worse, and right now I am having almost 10 days of light bleeding while taking this without a break. I paid $45 for it. I have never paid this high amount for 3 X 21 birth control pills."

"I started taking this pill about a month and a half ago and have had nothing but problems. I started taking it in the morning when I would be getting ready for work, then get sick about halfway through the day. So I decided to take it at night, and I wake up at night and get sick from it. Also, my first period on it lasted 10 days. I'm on day 7 of the current one. I have horrible mood swings and cramps, which I have never had a problem with before."

"After the month, I started to have headaches. I've always had cysts and, as a consequence, acne. It got worse! Terrible! And I started to have hair everywhere! It's horrible! The doctor said it was going to get better after the three months, it's been six, and it's just worse every day. I'm definitely changing."

"For birth control, it works wonderfully. As for ovarian cysts, it seems to do nothing for me. I still get them as often as I used to, and I see no end to it."
