"i have been on this birth control for three years i love it. before i started aviane i had terrible periods where i felt like i was having the flu with an insane amount of bleeding. i couldn&#039;t live that way anymore and my doctor suggested putting me on birth control. i was put on this pill for about 3 months and then i saw commercials on seasonale where i could only get my period 4 times a year and that seemed intriguing. after i was put on seasonale i had terrible mood swings and i would cry everyday. the only good thing about seasonal was that my breasts grew a size and a half. i went back to aviane after the other pill obviously wasn&#039;t going to work out and i am happy with it! my periods are better and no side effects!
