A pain in my lower ab right side would take place during sex. While the pill worked for preventing pregnancy it was horrible in every other way. I could barely get out if bed. My sex drive decreased big time. My husband couldn't understand what was going on with me. It effected everything around me. He looked into the symptoms and there they were.

The other night I could not sleep due to major chest pain and shortness of breath b/c I was so anxious. I am going to keep taking it. But If these symptoms don't go away..i will discontinue use.

First month I took it, my chronic pelvic pain went away and my period went from 7-8 days w/ the first few days being so heavy and painful I was bedridden & iron deficient to almost no period for 3-4 days. They only had Aviane-28 at the pharmacy as an off brand so I said it was ok. WHAT A NIGHTMARE! I had no sex drive, my breasts were tender and swollen the first week of pills, exhausted and no appetite. I started spotting the end of week 2 and boom, have had my period for now 9 day and just started my REAL period. I have no pain, but my flow is so heavy I have to wear a super plus tampon and a pad!!

It would come sometimes twice a month. I also had bad acne. The doc put me on Alesse, but it just made things worse. He then upped the dosage and switched me to Aviane-28. Ive been on it for several years, and I barely breakout with acne. My breasts are growing, and there is a possibility it is causing my libido to decrease. I did some research on it, and its possible. I also found that I would start spotting if I accidently miss a pill. I was also on antidepressants for a month and a half. That made my period VERY light, almost like it wasnt there. It been like that ever since and its been almost a year. I was alos put on it because Alesse and my periods would give me really bad migraines. With Aviane, I rarely get them, unless its due to environmetal factors or emotional, like insomnia and depression and stress. But when I do get them, I get them. I had to deal with a month and half long migraine last term. I havent noticed anything with my weight. I know my depression cause me to lose 20 pounds, and I have been having troubles gaining it back. I dont know if the discharge is from Aviane or from my period. I just know Ive had everyday since menarche. The moodiness is varying. And depends on what kind of day I had. | F | 18 | 5 years 1X day | 2/19/2012 | 3 | Birth Control | Extreme Breast Tenderness. Nausea. Eating even when not hungry. EXTREME MOOD SWINGS!!!!!!!!! Feel like gained weight but can still fit clothes. | I haven't been on this long but I'm really not enjoying it. My boobs are constantly tender which I can deal w/ but the mood swings are horrible! Either I'm wanting to bawl my eyes out or rip someone's head off or am in a slightly decent mood. I'm paranoid all the time and think everyone around me is acting weird. I'm going to try and stick it out but I'm not sure if I'll stay w/ this one. | F | 23 | 13 days 10 MG 1X day | 2/18/2012 |
