    Alesse birthcontrol

    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
    Magdalena

    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.

    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
