Aviane

I started taking Aviane after coming off of Lolo in 2020 after it gave me depression. The first few days taking Aviane (I’ve had to come off of it twice and restart) I was sick to my stomach, vomiting and lethargic. But I have been taking this contraceptive for 3 years and it works best for me. No weight gain, normal period schedule, i’ve always had bad cramps so that hasn’t changed much, clear skin, no depressive side effects. Works great as a birth control as well.

I started Aviane in July of 2023, and stopped taking it on March 2024. The first 3 months were very good, had no side effects and everything was normal. After the 3 months though, I started feeling more moody, get irritated faster, started breaking out, lost weight, and lost hair. I would never struggle with acne and this was a major issue for me on the pill. My weight also dropped tremendously, almost 10lbs from Oct 2023-Mar 2024 and I noticed extreme hair loss whenever I would shower and pass my fingers through my hair. It was very effective in protecting pregnancy so I had zero pregnancy scares.

Was on this birth control for 8 months, it was honestly great at preventing pregancy for me but there was some breakthrough bleeding but nothing too extreme. Aviane made my boobs EXTREMELY sore and huge. When I went to the gym, i could barley go on the treadmill/cycle because my boobs were so sore I couldn't even run without the worst soreness in them. I literally went from a B cup to a C. My bras didn't fit me anymore and it made me feel so bloated and gross. I had a lot of migraines while on this pill. About a month after i quit, it was so relieving, my boobs shrunk and there wasn't consant breast pain. Its odd, because other than the awful bloating and breast pain, this pill worked great for me but I just had to quit from how sick it was making me. I have now switched to non hormonal BC.

my med name is minipil20 but it has exactly same composition as Aviane. i wanted to take it to skip periods so that I will be less stressed at work. i took it at night the first day on Day 6, had anxiety difficulty sleeping so i changed to morning. had spotting for first few days, i had to use pad still to be stress free at work. sometimes vaginal irritation/ pain. for the past eleven days, i have smelly farts due to lactose content and frequent numbness in extremities. i fear of blood clots so decide to discontinue.

This birth control caused horrible suicidal depression for me. I didn’t realize it was the pill so it lasted about 3 months. The depression immediately resolved when I stopped taking the pills. I am able to take other birth control pills, but not this one

I came off of Lo loestrin fe and switched to aviane. The first month was okay and then the next 2 months were horrid. I only went two weeks without bleeding and it caused a flare up. I’ve never had a problem with vaginitis and I’ve constantly had burning and bleeding since using this medication. Everyone’s body is different. To each his own.

I was diagnosed with ovarian cyst, I was eventually put on these birth control pills and i immediately felt irritable, was very emotional, had break through bleeding. I continued to take it, because I thought eventually it would go away. I was just admitted to the hospital for 3 days due to the pill. I had every side effects you can think of. I highly recommend doing research on this pill, because what I felt I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy.

I was previously on Alysena 28 for about 5.5 years, but was recently switched (about 6 months ago) to Aviane 28 because it was the one my new pharmacy had. I assumed the switch would not really make a difference (I think the pills are very similiar?), and I didn't really know what to expect since the reviews are quite mixed. However, I don't think I'm a fan of Aviane 28. For birth control, regulating my period, etc., its fine and easy to use. However, since taking it, I have noticed my weight increase a bit (especially my boobs - now there are stretch marks on them). It also seems to make me feel hungry way more than usual. I thought maybe the increased weight was because of other life factors that are preventing me from working out as much, but I realized that I think the reason I'm not as active is because I feel more depressed. I think this is also from Aviane 28, because since taking it, I have been more stressed and depressed than usual. Either way, I think the apparent weight gain and the feelings of depression are linked to this pill, because my body/mental health was not the same before starting to take it. This is just my experience and it might be a lot better for other people, but I'm planning to go off it now.

This is the best birth control I’ve ever used. I didn’t want to try the pill again because last time I did I ended up suicidal and had so much acne + weight gain. After 6 years I decided to give it a try because I don’t want the implant or iud, and I’m so glad I did. I haven’t gained weight, no acne, and no mood swings! I have literally no negative side effects. Definitely give it a try! It’s been amazing for me.

This birth control had very minimal side effects. The only distinct change I noticed was that I was way more moody but that is something that you learn to control over time. In terms of cramps, the pill did a great job i decreasing the level of pain. My period is also much lighter now.

This medication gave me chest pains, an allergic reaction of hives that were burning & very painful to touch. This medication left 3 very large lumps under my left armpit and I was forced to stop taking this medication. This is not a good pill for me - Alesse, or Lolo are my recommendations

I just started Aviane 2 months ago. I was on Loestrin for longer than a year, which helped my cramps and I barely got my period and had no issues. Once my doctor switched me to Aviane because my other birth control was no longer at my pharmacy, I realized that I had an increase in discharge which was never an issue for me, and I got my first really heavy period in years that followed along with super bad cramps that I experienced before I was ever on the pill. I�m going to give it another chance but I�m experiencing things I never experienced from my other pill and it is sort of irritating.

I have been on Aviane for 3 months now and though I did have a few days of feeling off at first, now I feel fine and I haven’t gotten pregnant! I’m happy.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis 2 years ago and it was until now that I decided to treat it because the pain isn't only during in the period, it had passed into ovulation. My gynecologist decided to start Aviane because it is a low dose and has few side effects. My treatment would be to just take the hormones (skipping placebos) for 3 months. For the first 2 weeks, I had nausea and mild headaches, I deal with it and the effects disappeared in next weeks.I am in the third month and I have decided to leave the pill. I started experiencing breast pain, palpitations, anxiety, mood swings (no depressants, but it all made me mad at even the stupidest things), pelvic pain, lower back pain more painful than normal, and even a horrible vaginal infection (something rare for me, because I didn't have one in years). The worst thing is that I'm not supposed to have the period during those 3 months and I have been bleeding 2 weeks (not spotting, literally my period). Also, been having headaches type migraine for days, that won't relieve a couple of Tylenol. My ovulation pains continued and I think I'm worse now than before. Now, Sorry Aviane, but you're not for me.

This is my favorite birth control that I have taken so far. I had acne due to my last birthcontrol and in about two months it has almost completely cleared. I have a period every month and its usually light and only about 3-4 days. If you have bad periods or acne I suggest this pill do not and i repeat do not take zovia. That pill had me bleeding for 2 months straight and it gave me acne when I had none before. Zovia also gave me extreme hot flashes and nausea.

Within several days of beginning this prescription, I experienced limb pain/numbness/weakness in all of my limbs to the extent that I went to an emergency walk in clinic because I thought I had sudden neurological damage. Two walk-in visits later, those doctors indicated that my limb pain was â??definitely not from the birth control.â? They had no explanation for my pain and suggested I get tested for Lyme disease. After 5 days of being on Aviane, I took it upon myself to stop taking it and the symptoms went away and I have not had the limb pain since I stopped taking Aviane 2 years ago.

I took Aviane for a year for contraceptive purposes. As far as that went, no issues. My skin however was AWFUL for an entire year and took months to correct even after stopping the pill. My face was so greasy and I was getting clusters of acne on my jaw and cheeks. No matter what I did the acne would spread and never seemed to calm down. No other side effects, but for a woman in her early 20's not worth the acne! Try Tri-Sprintec instead!

At first I was scared to try Aviane then I looked up the reviews! They made me extremely hesitant to try it. However, I've been on it for almost 6 months now and I have not had 1 side effect or symptom. My body hasn't reacted negatively towards it AT ALL! my period has shortened and lightened up! It's usually 7+ days and I can now count on it being a solid 4/5 days long. I'm very satisfied! EVERYONES body is different & mine is in favor of Aviane! God Bless

I've been on this birth control for over 8 years and it is amazing I have never gotten any acne and I never gain weight and it fits my body type and there are no negative things about it I would totally recommend & still no babies!!
