"first i started off with aviane and switched to falmina which, from what i was told, is the generic brand. honestly, i had the most trouble with aviane. i would get nausea, very emotional, low sex drive and thick discharge. never had any problems with spotting or irregular periods. then when i started the flamina, all basically was taken down a huge notch and the thick discharge went away. i like that i know the exact day i will start my period, it only lasts for about 4-5 days also very light, and usually i am not emotionally bothered. occasionally i can be irrational and a bit of a cry baby, although, it wasn&#039;t as intense as when i was on aviane. the only problem that i&#039;ve had is my muscles can get very tender after work or exercise"
