"this is my second birth control pill. i have been taking aviane for 1 year and 3.5 months now and i love it! i used to have cramping so bad on the first day of my period that i would throw up, but since i started aviane my period symptoms are practically non-existent (except for minor break outs on my face right before it starts but this was a symptom prior to taking aviane as well).  i also used to get frequent yeast infections and bv but since starting this bc those break outs have occurred waaay less often.  i experience no negative side-effects physically or mentally."
