| 4 | Contraception, regulation | A little bit more acne, a few moodswings, sometimes breakthru bleeding. | This is by far the most tolerable pill I've ever taken. Everything else has sucked majorly! | F | 21 | 6 months | 8/25/2008 | 5 | Regulate Period | Leg pain (no blood clots). Decreased appetite at the beginning (not complaining, especially since the prior pill caused a 30 pound weight gain in 4 months). Light/short periods (no complaints there, either) | Love this pill. The minor leg cramping I get with it is nothing compared to the excruciating migraines I get when I'm not on some form of hormone regulating pill. | 8 years | 7/12/2008 | 5 | prevent pregnacy | Some breast tenderness, light cramps. | Ive been on 5 or 6 different birth controls and this one causes the least side effects for me. I highly suggest trying it for anyone who tends to experience side effects from birth control. | F | 26 | 1 years | 6/30/2008 | 2 | Birth Control | Significant irritability, weight gain, and slight decrease in sex drive. | While I expected to gain a little weight with the taking of a BCP, I have been unable to lose the 15 lbs I gained. But foremost, I found myself crying at every little thing. I think I cried more in the past 6 months than I had in 10 years!! I gave it more than an adequate time for my body to adjust to the hormones, but it is getting worse! An appt has been made with my MD to switch!! | F | 34 | 9 months | 6/5/2008 | 5 | birth control | moody during first week of active pills | i LOVE this pill. I was on it before I could afford what has been a battle with yaz and loestrin and have returned. The side effects were nothing compared to the other 2. | F | 24 | 1 years | 4/2/2008 | 3 | prevent pregnancy/no period | very irritable, mood swings | I take BC to skip my cycles. I take three weeks and start over when period is supposed to come. This worked well for a while with enpresse but my hair started shedding. I read that others had the same problem with enpresse so I switched to this. Just started taking this pill 4 days ago. I've noticed a lighter appetite, actually very light. My breasts are tender, and feel kinda swollen. I did notice that Saturday night and sunday I was really agitated and snappy. I'm even tempered today and feel a little tired but not irritable. It's early yet as i'm on my first week. I'll keep taking it and see how it goes. Will update. | F | 30 | 4 days | 2/25/2008 | 1 | Birth Control | severe acne, mood swings, anger, weight gain, irregular periods, breakthrough bleeding, severe headaches. | This pill is absolutely horrible. I have never had a problem with acne until taking this pill. Prior to this pill, I weighed 102 pounds, now I can't fit into my clothes, I must have gained at least 15 pounds in 5 months. Also, I have bouts of anger and irritability, whereas I've always been known as happy and easy going. I plan on getting off this so my periods stabilize and I can get a copper IUD. This pill is not worth the side effects. | F | 35 | 5 months | 11/10/2007 | 3 | birth control | Increased Acne! | I never had a problem with acne until I took this pill. That was the only problem I had with this pill. Everything else was fine. No weight gain, no cramps, and short and light periods. This pill would've ben great if it didn't give me acne. | F | 23 | 4 months | 8/29/2007 | 3 | prevent pregnancies | wieght gain, depression,naseua at the beginning, moody, heachaches, sometimes very irratible | cheap | F | 19 | 6 months | 7/22/2007 | 3 | Headaches, mood swings, break through bleeding | F | 27 | 1 months | 6/22/2007 | 4 | perimenopausal | breakthrough bleeding, must take at same time daily within an hour or two. | I went on this birth control after giving birth to twins at 44 (i am now 50 and have not experienced menopause yet) and experiencing heavy (two week) periods. I had been on a stronger pill most of my adult life until trying to get pregnant and had virtually no periods for many years prior to getting pregnant. This pill was very successful in reducing my period flow and time, and improving mood swings, although i continue to have water weight gain for a week or two monthly. Breakthrough bleeding appeared to be the only major side effect but it was far more desirable to have light breakthrough bleeding than extremely heavy periods each month. I did not notice any weight gain attributable to this pill. | F | 50 | 5 years | 6/10/2007 | 1 | I've only taken this pill for a month. While on it I've already had my period 2 weeks straight on the ACTIVE pills. I'm taking this so that I don't get my period for 3 months, but guess that didn't work. I'm thinking of switching because I've been VERY depressed and have had horrible mood swings on this pill since I pretty much started. It also made my face break out pretty bad. | F | 21 | 1 months | 5/16/2007 | 2 | Genric Brand for Lev-Lite | I have been on Aviane for about a year and have experienced weight gain of about 10 lbs.I have horrible mood swings and bloating about 2 1/2 weeks up until my period. I am bloated most of the time and my breasts have increased in size. I also get migraine headaches either before or after my period and they last for about 5 days or less. | I exercise and manage a very healthy diet and am shocked to be experiencing side effects to this degree. I would like to go back onto Levline, as I did not have these types of side effects on this pill. | F | 32 | 1 years | 5/5/2007 |
