"i went on aviane to make my periods lighter. it definitely helped in that way, but i&#039;ve now been on it for 5 months and i am constantly hungry. i gained 15 pounds (120lbs to 135). although that is the only side effect, the weight will not come off! i&#039;ve been increasing my amount of exercise and it&#039;s only making me gain more. i weighed myself yesterday and i went up to 140lbs.
