"i have been using aviane for almost a year now and i would have to say that the only side effects i noticed was my skin has been a little bit more oily and i get 3 to 4 days of spotting before my regular period. because of this the doctor is making me switch to ortho tri cycen lo, hopefully i don&#039;t run into any problems but i don&#039;t even want to switch. i love aviane."
