| 5 | Prevent pregnancy | Work really well no side effects | F | 22 | 9 months | 2/8/2012 | 1 | I was on Lutera but I heard they stop making it as of last year. I'm on Aviane and I don't like it. I was switched to Aviane twice before and it always made me gain weight. I hate it!!! | F | 43 | 1X day | 2/8/2012 | 2 | Prevent Pregnancy; regulate periods | NO sex libido, headaches, and it actually made me break out. Also, I've experienced more hair loss than usual, as well as frequent spotting -- before AND after my period, and it gave me dark spots on my face! | I've taken this for 2 years now, hoping that the side effects would change or go away, as warned by my doctor, but they simply haven't. | F | 28 | 2 years .10 mg 1X day | 2/2/2012 | 5 | Regulation of cycle | No side effects at all. This was a great low dose pill that didnt give me any nausea. | F | 48 | 10 years | 2/1/2012 | 5 | birth control | None | I don't know about everyone else, but I've had no trouble. Actually cleared up my acne from adolescence, and then regulated my period really well. No spotting, very short and light period. No problems, no weight gain. Decreased my mood swings and no loss of libido. :) Way less hassle than others. | F | 19 | 8 months .1 1X day | 1/31/2012 | 1 | prevent pregnancey | Stabbing headaches, cramps, back pain, chest pain, starting having pain on left side and I couldn't breath good, rushed me to hospital to find out that aviane caused me to have blood clots in both my lungs, almost had a stroke, and now I have to give myself shots in the stomach for months and take pills for up to a year that's blood thinners, I would not ever recomend this to anyone, I was so healthy before, no history in my family of blood clots and I almost lost my life. | F | 22 | 3 months 10 mg | 1/26/2012 | 4 | Regulation | Fatigue, Weight Loss | I have been on many different types of BC, but this one has by far been the best. I have lost over 10 lbs and my acne has cleared 100%. I do feel very fatigued often throughout the day, but this is my only drawback. | F | 22 | 1X day | 1/25/2012 | 1 | Regulate cycle, menstrual cramps. | I experienced an increase in acne break outs on my face and body, I've gained 20 pounds since I've began taking this pill. My Doctor was concerned, so I'm off of it now. I had my period 4 times in a 28 day cycle with one day breaks in between, I got head aches all the time and have had trouble sleeping. I started having constant yeast and bacterial infections, on this pill. I went from a 34B to a 36 D (don't really mind) but I assume they'll go back down since Im off now. | Don't recommend it for anyone, although it really did help my menstrual cramp severity. | F | 18 | 3 months 1 pill 1X day | 1/24/2012 | 4 | birth control | weight-loss, nausea, mild stomach cramps, mild acne | This is the best pill I have been on so far. I loved that it's LOW dose. I gained a little weight after being on another birth control for two years, but once I started Aviane, I lost all of that weight, and I feel great. I can handle the mild acne and stomach cramps (which seemed pretty much go away after around month 3) for the ability to keep my weight in check. | F | 24 | 9 months 1X day | 1/23/2012 | 1 | For Birth Control & Regulate Cycle | Stroke symptoms, including random severe headache, aura with possible migraine, loss of vision in one eye, dizziness, slurred speech. | Everything was fine until I hit the fourth week of taking this medicine. I had about six stabbing headaches in one day, but I ignored them since a hurricane was going on, figuring it was just the barometric pressure. That Monday I went to class and the stroke symptoms struck in the middle of lecture and I had to go to the health center. Once I got off of it, for fear that I was going to have a full-blown stroke, it took a month of steroids to reduce the headache so I could actually function again. I would never recommend this. | F | 21 | 4 weeks Normal 1X day | 1/10/2012 | 1 | acne, regulate period | Ended up in the hospital with heart palpitations, high blood pressure, high glucose, viral hepatis, gall bladder problems (gall stone), light headedness, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, moody, sensitive (crying alot by the 5th month), headaches, vision problems | F | 17 | 6 months .10 mg | 1/8/2012 | 5 | Prevent pregnancy | None | F | 20 | 3 months | 11/26/2011 | 2 | Pregnancy prevention, sex drive | Extreme mood swings, acne, increased sex drive. | I began taking Aviane because I had a very low sex drive on Yasmine; however, I experienced mood swings beyond belief! I would burst into tears or a white hot rage in a matter of seconds. Also, I began to get acne all over my face and parts of my body. I am worried to continue into another month because if it does not slow down, I cannot handle it. | F | 18 | 1 months 0.10mg 1X day | 10/9/2011 | 3 | I switched from taking Junel 21 FE | nausea, acne, fatigue | I was taking Junel Fe for 3 years. I developed a skin rash and was having mood swings. I also had problems with my eyes so I asked my doctor to switch me and she gave me Aviane. So far ive had nausea right after I take the pill and after meals. I have no appetite, but I still eat anyway. I mainly crave sweets now. I had spotting bleeding also. I also have more red bumps on my face than I have ever had in my entire life. My boyfriend says it's not noticeable, but I can tell especially when I feel my face and it had tons of bumps. My mood has been fine and my rash is still here but improving (it happens around my chest and stomach). hopefully the acne and spotting go away after a couple months. | F | 22 | 14 days 1X day | 8/21/2011 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | Mood Swings | I switched from Yaz to Aviane, and I couldn't be happier with the results. About a week before my period, my moods are all out of whack, but it is NOTHING compared to how bad I was on Yaz. My cramps/back pain are now gone, I hardly get headaches, my boobs grew and my period is hardly noticable. | F | 17 | 3 months 1X day | 8/3/2011 | 1 | cycle regulation and pregnancy pre. | nausea, dizziness, vomiting, exhaustion | I recently switched to Aviane after taking Aranelle for several years. I never had any problems with Aranelle, I just decided to switch to a low estrogen pill and this is what my doctor perscribed me. I took Aviane for 4 days and had no side effects. Then on the evening of teh 5th day, I felt unusually exhausted and got a migraine headache. I had flown on an airplane that day and thought maybe I just got some motion sickness, so I took the pill as usual and went to sleep. The next morning I was dizzy, exhausted, nauseous, and I had no appetite. My symptoms continued all day and by the evening of the 6th day, I was vomiting painfully and could hardly stand up. That night I discontinued taking the medication, and was still sick and vomiting the next morning. It was not for about 48 hours after taking my last dosage that I regained and appetite, my headache went away, and I began to be able to eat and sleep normally again. Aviane was the 4th type of birth control pill I have tried, and the only one that has ever given me such side effects. | F | 31 | 5 days 1X day | 8/2/2011 | 4 | Pregnancy prevention | Weight loss. Minor moodiness at first, quickly adjusted. | Works great! Have been told of many contraindications, have experienced none! Prevents pregnancy with little or no bad effects. | F | 23 | 5 months 1X day | 8/1/2011 | 2 | To Control Acne and balance hormone | My hair went from very wavy to straight. It is to the point that it won't even hold curl from a curling iron. I also have been very fatiged and not feeling 100%. After reading other comments, I realized that it is probably due to the pill. Also my acne got worse. Going off of it and trying something different | F | 32 | 2 months 1X day | 7/14/2011 | 2 | heavy bleeding,acne,bad cramps | Always hungry, weight gain, breast growth, over-sleeping, tiredness, sleeping issues, moodiness | Well for the positive things: it cleared most of my acne (though sometimes I broke out on my chin or a had like one random pimple on my forehead, especially during periods), and it regulated my periods and they lasted only lasted about a 7 days or less. The most important thing to me though was about the bleeding because my was very, very heavy. It did lighten my period, but not enough really. Also I still had cramps, though not as painful, but I still had them. One of the biggest problems I had with this was the increased appetite. Over the months taking it, I gained 20 pounds. It scared me to death because all my life I've been thin and could eat anything I wanted without gaining weight, and now I was having problem squeening into my shorts. I was always wanting food and craving eating (even when I wasn't really hungry). I went up a cup size, though I didn't really mind that. I also was over-sleeping, but don't know exactly that Aviane effected my sleep or not because I've had sleeping issues all my life, but I was always tired and sometimes sleeping up to 13 hours a night and then still felt like I needed to take a nap. In a month I will probably switch to a new bc because even though it does help, it doesn't help enough and the side effects aren't worth it. | F | 16 | 5 months 28 1X day | 7/10/2011 | 3 | to regulate my menstrual cycle | Stoke like symptoms: facial numbness, vision problems, arm numbness, speech problems. Had to check in to the ER for the symptoms and was told by my PMD to immediately stop taking the medication. | It worked great for my cycle. I was only on it for a month and a half and had one period before the symptoms. I only spotted during my menstrual. I was anemic due to my heavy cycle. So when my cycle was light I was amazed. I thought I was having a stroke when I had the symptoms and it was my doctor who informed me that I was having a side effect of "complex mgraine". | F | 25 | 1.5 months 1X day | 6/30/2011 |
