Comparing Aviane vs Kyleena

For Birth Control I started taking aviane because my old birth control made me gain a lot of weight and my skin broke out. Aviane was great at first it actually made me lose about 20 pounds and cleared my skin however it did make me extremely depressed and I recently just got off of it after taking it for a year and suddenly when I stopped taking it my mood instantly got better and grey is no longer the color of my walls :)

For Birth Control I'm on my second pack about 2 & a half weeks in. So far I feel better overall with my mood besides the fact that life's been stressing me out. My only complaints are the acne and my breasts grew so much and I'm having a hard time with how much they've grown so quick. I also feel hungry all the time and feel like I've gained weight. Other than that it's helped my mood turn from sad and moody to pretty calm and happy

For Birth Control I have had my Kyleena in for about two or three months. I bleed basically all the time right now. I gained 7 pounds initially, (and I NEVER gain weight) but I am now dropping the weight. The hormones did affect me, and still do, but I haven’t gotten pregnant! It does its job! Just be sure to pay attention to your body. It can be frustrating, and yet affective.

For Birth Control I got this IUD inserted about 2 months ago after being on Lolo (an oral birth control) for about 1.5 years. I stopped because I was gaining a lot of weight and my acne was worsening from the oral contraceptive. The insertion process was painful but bearable, really similar to a really intense menstrual cramp, however, I took two extra strong Advil’s beforehand. The first month I did experience spotting practically everyday. It was coupled with mild cramps and it was pretty annoying. The last month though the spotting stopped, my period was super light and I didn’t have any pain. I’m also not experiencing any symptoms of weight gain or acne at all. I feel so much better than I did before! I did have a very painful yeast infection and my doctor told me it’s probably a side effect from the IUD. That was a downside. However I’d recommend the IUD as it is a long term commitment and requires no upkeep -do your research beforehand though!
