I'm terrified to start my Aviane now, after reading this. I start...

Everyone responds to different birth control pills differently. Although I have had a bad experience on aviane, that does not mean that you will, too. If you have any history of depression, though, make sure to stay away from aviane because it can make it worse.

In the past I have taken yasmin and yaz, and I had absolutely no side effects on either one. My insurance doesn't cover them anymore, though, and they are expensive!

I would give aviane a try for a few months and if you have problems you can always switch to something else (like yasmin or yaz if your insurance covers them)!
