I've been taking this pill for about 3-4 years. I am 44 now. I think this is just me but the third week of the pills I have been having mood swings. It doesn't surprise me as I have had far worse mood swimgs on other pills. This one was at least acceptable. Now however, primenopause may be setting in. Is there anyone out there taking this at age 40 something and up with problems? This last mo ... Show Full Comment

It doesn't surprise me as I have had far worse mood swimgs on other pills. This one was at least acceptable. Now however, primenopause may be setting in. Is there anyone out there taking this at age 40 something and up with problems? This last month I have been very depressed, sad and a bit angry. The saddness was the worst. Thinking of trying a new pill. Prior to this I would say the pill has been very effective. No break through bleeding. Regular periods, very predictable.

I started taking this once my period begin and have had period now going for 19 days straight and it has stop. Plus my appetite has increase and I'm always nausea especially after lunch. Also I have moods swings. I hate these pills I'm getting off as soon as this pack is over.

I was happily on Aviane for 2 or 3 years, and switched mindlessly when my pharmacist asked if I wanted to try it for some reason (they weren't stocking Avaine anymore? They changed names?). Either way I wish I had said no, these past 3 months on this pill have been miserable. I start having PMS symptoms a week after my period. I bloat up so much that I can't button my pants, I am violent and suici ... Show Full Comment

I was happily on Aviane for 2 or 3 years, and switched mindlessly when my pharmacist asked if I wanted to try it for some reason (they weren't stocking Avaine anymore? They changed names?). Either way I wish I had said no, these past 3 months on this pill have been miserable. I start having PMS symptoms a week after my period. I bloat up so much that I can't button my pants, I am violent and suicidal, and my face, which has never broken out even in my teens, is a mess. I don't feel like myself, my relationship with my boyfriend has been on the rocks because the 'me' he used to date was optimistic and upbeat, not angry and short-tempered. Besides that, I'm assuming the contraceptive side is working fine. I know that hormonal birth controls mix differently with different women, but quite a few reviews online have mentioned mood problems too.

It makes my stomach hurt for about an hour or so after I take it and if I am barely off time, taking it, it makes me bleed for days. Other than that, It's great!
