Brands > Aviane

I have horrible PMS symptoms of moodiness and heavy cramps before my periods, and my periods also lengthen and become erratic in their start date when I am under stress. For these reasons, I made the decision over a year ago to try taking a contraceptive pill for these symptoms.

Aviane has been quite a good birth control for me. It controls my periods and the associated PMS symptoms quite well, which was my primary motivation for taking a contraceptive pill. It cuts cramps out almost entirely for me, and it shortens my periods by at least two days. It also helps control mood swings.

I have had no stomach problems while on Aviane, nor have I had any problems with weight gain. The only side effects I have noticed are a change in the texture of my menstral flow and a shift of the few remaining PMS symptoms to a few days earlier than they were previously. I have also noticed my skin clearing up.
