"i recently had to switch to avaine after finding out that my health insurance (blue cross) refused to continue to cover the cost of alesse after the first 3 months. i&#039;ve only been using avaine for a little over a week. so far i don&#039;t see any problems except i&#039;ve been breaking out more than i should since i&#039;m on birth control. other than that i think it&#039;s fine."
