There is conflicting evidence over whether combined pills such as Aviane cause mood swings or anxiety. Some evidence suggests that they may have an impact on depression, but others say that it doesn't so we can't give a definitive answer. Most women report no mood changes with their birth control. Some women report an improvement in mood changes or mood swings throughout their cycle such as those associated with premenstrual syndrome (PMS). We suggest taking a look at the user-generated reviews to see how our community reviewed Aviane's effects on emotions, and check out our guide to birth control and mood.

Breakthrough bleeding (or spotting) on a combined pill like Aviane can happen, especially when you first start taking the pill or if you're not taking breaks between packets. If you have been taking the combined pill for more than 3 months and your spotting is continuing, or you are experiencing new or irregular bleeding then contact your doctor or nurse for advice. You may be asked to do a pregnancy test or STI test and come in for an examination. If you take the combined pill back to back (without a break) you can avoid having a withdrawal bleed but may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding.

Aviane birth control is a combined pill that is taken daily to prevent pregnancy. It makes the fluid in your cervix thicker (which makes it more difficult for sperm to enter the womb) whilst also stopping ovulation. The combined pill also prevents the lining of your womb from thickening enough for a fertilised egg to implant into it. Microlite is around 93% effective with typical use, which means that 7 in 100 women fall pregnant whilst taking it each year. Find out more about how clinical effectiveness is determined. There are a few things that can stop the combined pill from working properly including vomiting, some antibiotics, or missing a pill. Take a look at our complete guide to the combined pill to find out more. You can also use our Missed pill calculator to help you understand what to do if you miss a pill.

You should take your Aviane pill around the same time every day. We recommend keeping your pill packet somewhere you look at everyday (like your makeup bag) to remind you to take it, or set an alarm on your phone. Microlite is designed to be taken for 21 days followed by a 7 day break during which you'll experience a withdrawal bleed (like a period). If you want to, you can choose to shorten this break or miss it out altogether (check out our blog on taking your pill back to back. ) Depending on where you are in your cycle when you start taking the pill, you might not be protected straight away. Check out our blog about the combined pill for more info. Coming off Aviane is easy - you just stop taking it. When you do, you’re no longer protected from pregnancy. If you want to stop the pill but do not wish to become pregnant then you might want to consider switching to another form of contraception before you stop taking your pill.
