Aviane 28 symptoms and conditions

Well I have been on Aviane-28 for hormonal and period uses. Note that I'm 14 years old and I'm not sexuality active. I have been on Aviane for exactly 1 month 1 week and 4 days, and I HATE IT. I got this med to even me out my period pains and lately I have been feeling like crap, seriously. For the first month, my period lasted for that WHOLE MONTH. All I was interested in, I now hated, for no exact reason. In the same month, I was crying all the time and it made me so depressed. I told my mom about it and she said I should stay on it, but I really don't know what I should do. I have been eating like CRAZY and become so nauseated afterword. And for those of you who are just like me and have a panic disorder, it makes it that much WORSE with the episodes. I have noticed that my hair was been falling out a bit, and didn't realize it was the med itself from the comments has said above and below my comment. Honestly I thought it was from my hair dye that I did 2 months, but that doesn't seem right to judge that. Another thing was, I woke up at least 4 times last night and I really don't know why. Oh and a question for those of you who have tried out this birth control, had you ever had a weird dream of being pregnant? Just asking.

Wow, this site made me feel so much better. I was on ortho tri cyclen lo for 3 years with no problems. I had great skin, no cramps, no headaches, nothing.. but the price went up and my insurance changed and eventually I couldn't afford it. I went to my doctor and they put me on Aviane 28. I HATE THIS PILL. Tomorrow is my last pill and then I am done with this. I have been so INCREDIBLY TIRED that I can't even stand it. I've also been having awful headaches and minor problems with contacts and vision. I am so glad that I came to this site because I thought something was majorly wrong with me. I can't believe this pill is so bad! So many people have commented (not just on this site). I already went to my doctor and demanded to go back on Ortho, despite the cost (went to Planned Parenthood and got on one of their plans for people who have no income, aka a student like me so now my pills are free!). If you are thinking of trying this pill, I don't suggest it, it's really not worth it. Oh, and on top of it, I've had bad nausea too, something I can't seem to shake! Good luck everyone :)

I have been on Aviane 28 Day BC for a month. I did not notice any changes right away, however, my boyfriend keeps complaining about my attitude and I was beginning to believe that I was turning into a monster.
However, after reading many of your comments, I believe that my mood swings can be correlated to this BC.

Also, I always had UNCONTROLLABLE acne, but now my skin is nearly FLAWLESS so that is GREAT news for me! My breasts have also gotten larger, which is a plus in my case.

Additionally, I'm on Week 4 (the sugar pills) and my period is almost nonexistent even though I know it is here. I'm bleeding very lightly (which means I could use a panty shield). Before I started taking this BC I had TERRIBLE periods and EXCRUTIATING cramps. I used at least 40 pads or more every month! I have 4 packs of pads in anticipation of my period, but it seems like I won't be using them for right now. However, I am a little concern that my period is barely here, but I will be a good patient and continue to use the pill for the next two months as prescribed.

Finally, I have also noticed that I now feel very agitated and extremely anxious which is not a pleasant feeling at all!

Overall, the pill seems to be working for what it was prescribed for (i.e. assist with menstrual cramps and reduce the flow). I wish everyone the best with this medication or in finding one that is efficient for you.

I started Aviane about 2 weeks ago because they stopped Alesse. I had my period and started the Aviane 28 that Sunday, and haven't had sex at all since my period and I feel pregnant. My stomach is hard, and I can't suck it in; for the first week I had almost morning sickness, I was very nauseas, and threw up the first day I took them. I've also been tired and getting headaches.
I'm actually scared that I am pregnant, but I don't see how it could be possible, seeing as I've had my period. Has this happened to anyone? Please let me know - I'm going to take a pregnancy test soon because I'm so worried. Hopefully it's just the pills!

hey everyone! i just started taking Aviane and i have been spotting for the past two weeks after my period. is this normal and can anyone tell me roughly when their spotting stopped because this is driving me crazy! thanks in advance!

It seems like everytime I get back on a birth control after getting off it, i react differently. I started on ortho, I felt pregnant, bloated, depressed, acne. Switched to aviane 28 after 2 months, at first, weight loss, clear skin, than cystic pimples in the last week. I stopped early that week, then decided it would be better to finish the pack. So i skipped two of the days and finished the pack. TERRIBLE idea. I've never looked or felt more disgusting in my life and I didn't get a period. I went back on ortho to re regulate myself. Acne, but felt wonderful! unfortunately i stopped b/c the price went up. Felt terrible after stopping dramatic weight loss that i didn't need. Went back on ortho lo, felt weird, very manly. like muscular, and weird puffy face and dark spots on the sides of my face. I lost a pack and decided not to pay $50 again, i;m a college student and bought aviane 28. My skin has never been so clear! I got really tired after taking them so I think next month i'll switch to taking them at night. I don't feel physically healthy yet after a dramatic weight loss after getting off ortho (even though I'm at a healthy weight), but I think i'll continue with them, but take them at night intstead. My advice is don't play around with these hormones. I'm afraid what i'll be like getting off them. I feel safer taking the lower dose though. My sister has been taking this for years, and claims to have no side effects and thinks i'm crazy when I start complaining about birth control.

I've just started taking Aviane, 28 on Sept 2, 2007. Every since I've been taking them, I've had breakthrough bleeding. At first, it was dark in color and now bright red. I can't tell if my normal cycle has started on what. I'm 43 years old, just had my first child 2 years ago. Before, that, I was on the pill for the longest time. But, I have never in those times experienced this side effects. As of today, 9/27, I'm still bleeding. I'm patiently waiting for this weekend to come so I can finish this pack. I will not be taking them again. This is crazy!!!!!!

Im 29 y.o., i started taking aviane 28 about 4 months go, mainly to get rid of my pimples. although my skin improved - i have experienced some side effects that drive me crazy- weight gain, mood swings, feeling sick, headaches....I want to stop taking it but I'm affraid that if i do- my pimples will come back. Also -I'm not sure if i can just stop it anytime or have to wait until the end of the pack. Does anyone know?

I was previously on Trivora which has a high estrogen level. Unfortunately, it gave me headaches every night at the time it was to take my pill (give or take 30 minutes). So my gynecologist insisted on going to the bottom of the scale seeing that the estrogen was what was giving the problem. I was then perscribed Aviane 28. This pill has given me more problems than I could have ever imagined.

The list is as follows: weight gain (20 lbs.), mood swings, swelled/tender breasts around 8-9 days before period, alternation between increased and decreased appetite, spotting/breakthrough bleeding. Basically the pregnancy symptoms. It's actually very frustrating because the purpose of the pill is to REGULATE hormones and to prevent pregnancy.

I've been on this pill for about 7 months now and have just (in the past 2 months) noticed spotting. As furiating as it is, my periods became so light, it seemed like they were alomst not existing. This persists and becomes worse every month.

Throughout the past months, I have encountered no sexual intercourse which is why I found the symptoms quite odd. I researched many different side effects but none stated the amount of spotting that was occuring. Again, this month, I have had spotting.. beginning in a dark brown and now, a bright red thin texture(sometimes clotts). There are times that I'm thinking of it stopping but other times that I go back to the bathroom and only notice it when wiping. I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, but it would be nice to see that someone else has related problems.
