"i&#039;ve been on aviane for 4 months now and at first there didn&#039;t seem to be much of any side effects but after the second month or so i started breaking out like crazy. i used to only break out around my period but aviane made me break out all month. i gained 10 lbs and was not happy about it. overall not such a bad birth control because periods are very regular 3-5 days but i&#039;m definitely trying something else."
