"i&#039;m 20. after reading such terrible reviews, i was nervous about taking this pill. quite honestly, it&#039;s a good brand. i&#039;m just about to start the 3rd pack. i&#039;ve encountered no &quot;horrible&quot; side effects! no mood swings, no headaches, etc. pill actually helped clear my skin. (i&#039;ve had adult acne) only effect i felt was very mild nausea. (sea bands helped suppress it) also, light &quot;period&quot;. cramps were little to none. lasted exactly 7 days, arrived just on time. helped prevent pregnancy despite the fact i take it over 7 hours late almost every day. some days i&#039;m on time, other days i&#039;m early then totally late. this is my first time on bc. to say the least, nothing scary about aviane. it&#039;s a chill pill.."
