I'm 24 years old and I've been on Aviane for about 2 years. My sex drive is GONE. I live with my boyfriend and we have a great relationship. He is my best friend. We have sex MAYBE once or twice a month and I still don't even want to do it then, but I feel bad for him so I do. I also snap at everything, and I always feel like I'm going to explode. I snap at him and my cat and my family at least once a day. I can hardly do my laundry or drive my car without feeling like I want to punch a wall. I've always been such a laid back person so I definitely think it's the birth control. I didn't gain any weight on this pill. I actually lost weight so I'm terrified to switch to anything else, but I think I'm going to have to because it's ruining my life.

Girl I am so with you! The first time I got on the pill I was on Desogen but I noticed my sex drive was gone so my gyno switched me to aviane and I was worried at first because I didn't want to go through the side effects of starting a new pill but I experienced nothing. It was like I didn't even switch to a new pill! My sex drive is still gone and my boyfriend and I maybe have sex like once a month too! It's really annoying because the only time I feel like having sex is when I'm on my period and hey thats when I'm not on the pill! I really just want to get off the pill completely but I am nervous about what my body will do and I don't want to get pregnant! I've been on aviane over a year and I think it's about time I call my gyno to either switch again or just get off it! I've also noticed I've gained weight on this pill and it's so hard to get it off! I'm also really moody and go through depression at times. It sucks :(
