For Birth Control "I took Aviane for three months. Before I started taking this particular brand, I had very long, heavy periods, little cramps sometimes, and a little PMS before I actually started my period. After I started taking this, I got frequent headaches, tons of cramps, breast tenderness leading up to my period for the full three weeks, and I spotted a little after a week into the pill pack each time. However, it did shorten my period by a day or so, but still very heavy bleeding. I did notice that I was more irritable as well. It didn't affect my acne at all, which I was a little disappointed. I wouldn't say don't try it, but it's definitely not the pill for me."

For Birth Control "I'm 19 and I've been on Aviane for 8 days now. I switched from Diane 35. I never experienced side effects while on my old pill, but I had to change pills because the other one has more estrogen and is also for acne, which I don't have much of anymore. Since being on Aviane, I've been having cramps very often. I've been feeling nauseous, and yesterday I vomited. I also felt very tired for a few days, even though I had slept over 10 hours the previous nights. On the plus side, it hasn't affected my skin and my sex drive is normal. I'll see how I feel by the end of the month."

For Birth Control "I’ve only been on Aviane for 3 days today. I honestly have nothing bad to say about it, though I’ve had slight cramps and fatigue, as well as headaches/migraines. I went into it blind and then decided to look at reviews, honestly, pretty bad. Everyone has their own experience, but mine is definitely not going as bad as some of the reviews I read so far."

For Birth Control "I was on it for a few weeks and started to get leg cramps. I was on Apri before and will be switching back. The only thing that bothered me was the leg cramps, everything else seemed to be fine."
