I am thinking of trying Alesse birth contol pills(generic name Aviane).
I am currently on Yasmin. But want to switch over.
Has anyone tried these? If so were there any negative side effects?
Thanks

I used to take Aviane. I I didnt know it was a generic... lol hmmm?
Anyway, it worked ok for me, but I had to eat a lot to not get sick. I didnt gain weight, infact, the avatar of me is when I was on it.Its pretty good but if you dont eat when you take it, it makes you extremely sick.
Oh, and most importantly.... no babies here. LOL
Another pill that is really great is Ortho Low, has a low dose of the things you need. I have never once been sick on it or gotten pregnant from it, or gained weight. The only thing is that your pds tend to be a little off, but nothing too major.
I hated Alesse. I had breakthrough bleeding CONSTANTLY. And If I missed it by even a few hours, I would bleed a ton, like I was in the middle of my period, and it would last for several days. It was a nightmare. I need to be on something with higher dosages of hormones, but that's just me. Lots of people really like Alesse.
How was Yasmin for you? I wanted to start taking it because I hear you don't gain any weight while on it...I saw a piece on the news about this last night.
there's beauty in the breakdown




That's everyone for replying
I have an appt. at planned parenthood tues. and I think I am going to stick to Yasmin for now because the only bad side effect I noticed was gaining around 5 pounds but I am not entirely sure that the yasmin is to blame for that because I was also on effexor and have just recently tapered myself almost off of it and I already have more energy and feel/look way less bloated.
Izzy-You should try yasmin it has worked really well for everyone I know that has been on it and I really like it too.
I was considering the aviane because I heard it has less hormones and does not effect you as harsly as most BC pills do.
I have also heard the patch is supposed to be good. But I don't know how I would hide it while working and I would be worried that it would fall off.
I wish they would just hurry up and get the male birth control out already!
Thanks again everyone![]()
