"i have been taking aviane for about a week and a half and i am still bleeding. this is day 11 of bleeding. clots and minimal pain. i have tried other contraceptives in the past and don&#039;t remember which ones or if they had any negative side effects, only took them for a short time.  i tried the nuva ring but later found out i was pregnant (miscarriage occurred). that was back in early 2004.  i don&#039;t have too many complaints. just the bleeding for so long. this is my 3rd cycle since my son was born in sept 2008.  i had a 33 day cycle then a 31. both times i only bled for max 8 days."
