"i took this pill from 18-25 when i had my first baby.  after, i was prescribed a different pill that was just ok.  after the birth of my 2nd son i tried mirena and it wasn&#039;t in place correctly so i didn&#039;t want to try again.  then, i went to nuvaring, it was awful! heavy bleeding on a crazy schedule and hormonal migraines that hadn&#039;t existed with other birth control. i am so happy to be back on avaine as i have no notable side effects."
