"i&#039;ve been on aviane for a little under a month now and i&#039;m 19.  this is my first birth control.  i&#039;ve never had acne and have started breaking out. the first week i had severe nausea, fatigue and cramps, the second week was fine aside from general moodiness, and then the first day of the third week i got my period and am now on day 9 of bleeding. i started birth control to shorten the absurd length of my period due to my extremely busy schedule, but this birth control has given me is a lighter but no shorter period, extreme fatigue, and a mean/cranky demeanor."
