birth control
"I've read all these reviews and I completely disagree with them. My experience with Aviane has been nothing but negative.  I was on it for 2 months, I gained about 8lbs (and I'm short, so that's a ton of weight and a whole pant size), my mood swings were out of control, and my first period on it lasted for 8 days and my second is on day 6 right now.  If I wanted to have a period that lasted that long, I wouldn't have started the pill to begin with. I'm going back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen because I absolutely refuse to deal with the side effects.  I mean, granted, I haven't had any cramps, but this weight gain and mood swings at the beginning of summer is a no go for me."
