Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on Aviane for about 8 months and its the only birth control I&#039;ve ever taken. Overall, it has been a positive experience. I had break-through bleeding the first month I was on it but it stopped after that. I did not experience any weight-gain or change in the length of my period, cramps, etc. I do get more acne on my face during my period now than I did before, though and mood swings during week 3 can be extreme: crying for no reason, feeling anxious/overwhelmed, getting unreasonably angry and upset. After experiencing this several months in a row, I&#039;m now often able to take a step back and say to myself, &quot;Okay, it&#039;s week 3, this is the pill not you,&quot; but its something potential users should be prepared for."
