"i love this birth control. i&#039;ve been on this pill for 3 months already and i simply love it. works in a matter of a week and it really protects you from pregnancy. my boyfriend and i have sex all the time and i always get my period on the first day i take my placebo pills. when i started taking this pill i was 155lbs now i&#039;m 146lbs. i must say losing weight is fantastic. aviane makes me bloat some days and lose my appetite but the whole point is you won&#039;t get pregnant! love it."
