I've been on Aviane for a month and just got my period.
So far here are the good things: I haven't gained weight. My boobs haven't swollen up like crazy (they usually do right before my period), and my period isnt killing me! Yay! I used to have HORRIBLE week long periods. It was so bad I would throw up and stay in bed squirming in pain for hours and miss work and class because of it on my second day of my period. But after this first month of being on Aviane my period will be max five days long which makes me really happy and I'm only sleepy but there ARE NO CRAMPS. Also I'm always lubricated during sex and it doesn't hurt anymore. It used to.
It also helped my bladder. I have interstitial cystitis and now my bladder isn't as sensitive anymore.
Negatives: I AM VERY MOODY. I cried a lot this month and was really paranoid and jealous about whatever my boyfriend was doing. I am never like this.
I have a lack of appetite. I have lost weight (not that I'm complaining).
I'm always tired.
My clitoris isn't as sensitive and I have a hard time orgasming. Before I used to have multiple orgasms but want less sex. Now I am always aroused but can't orgasm! It's weird.
But it has been the best birth control I've been on. And I've tried EVERYTHING. So we'll see...
