I always have side effects, cystic acne or migraines with birth control. This is the only one of about 10 that has worked for me. I did gain 2 to 3 lbs almost immediately, but pretty sure it's water weight in my boobs, because they grew practically overnight. No tummy aches, or gas, some bloating when I first started. Stabilized my appetite, cravings and mood in perimenopause.

I've been taking Aviane for years, to help regulate my periods. Before Aviane, they were irregular (it could be a month and a half before The Dot.) and could last 5-7 days, and my mental health was terrible the week before. (PMDD) I have terrible memory at times, but I know for a fact that Aviane has regulated my periods and has shortened them! They're now only 3 days long, if that tells you anything! I can't remember much about my first few months taking the pills, but overall, it's been helpful!
