I just started my 3rd pack of Aviane. One of the reasons I started taking birth control was to lighten up my period due to anemia. Well, so far its only made my periods worse. The first pack i had breakthrough bleeding for almost 2 weeks. It was heavy, the cramps were worse, felt sick, and worse depression/anxiety. I went to the doctor and he said this was "normal" and that I should continue the pill. During the second pack I bled for over a week and it was heavier, bad cramps and a headache for a week. Not to mention my "period" never came during the placebo pills but I know it can take time to regulate. I just started my 3rd pack of pill and I'm not feeling well. Just nauseous, sick and depressed again. Just last week when I was on the placebo pill I felt just fine and now i've started Aviane again and i feel horrible. All I know is that if bleed irregular/heavy this month again, i'm either going to go off this horrible stuff or go to the doctor to find a new birth control that doesn't make me feel sick and depressed all the time!

If something as low-dose as this kills your sex drive, then you may want to stay away from the hormones. With every other pill except this one, I have had really terrible mood problems; like constant anxiety driving me to suicidal feelings, and until I found this, I thought that I was gonna have to get off hormones too. There is this IUD thing that is copper that they put in your uterus... I can't do that. Not sure how you feel about that, but the thought of placing something in my uterus disgusts me to no end. Anyway, if you either stopped the hormones all together or tried that IUD thing, I'd bet money your sex drive would come back.
