For Birth Control "I started taking this birth control 6 months ago. I had some initial spotting, which later turned into bleeding throughout my 3rd and 4th weeks. Every month. Every month I was bleeding for 2 weeks. I thought it would go away after the 3rd month because that's what the general consensus was on the internet, but it didn't, so I'm switching to a high-dose pill. However, other than the annoyance of having to constantly buy tampons, I had no other side effects. No acne, no moodiness, no weight gain (I actually ended up going from 117 to 111 while on the pill for those of you who might be worried about weight gain as much as I was), no breast tenderness, or any substantial change in sex drive. I wish I didn't have to switch."

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 have been taking this pill for 9 days. So far I haven't noticed anything too extreme, which is good. I have noticed that I'm feeling bloated more than anything. I have gained a few pounds earlier in my cycle than I usually do, but I'm not above my normal range before I started taking the pill. I'm hoping that I don't continue to gain any weight. I track my diet, so if I gain more weight than the usual monthly water weight, I'll be very surprised. I've noticed moodiness a bit, but nothing I can't control. I get more upset and irritated with smaller things than usual, but I hear that goes away eventually. My skin hasn't broken out at all, really. My breasts feel a tad bit tender and swollen, but nothing painful as of yet."
