birth control
"I love this pill! I was on it for three months and only experienced short-term side effects. I had lack of natural lubrication (even when I was aroused) for the first two weeks, and slight hot flashes for the first couple of days. After my body adjusted to the new hormone, everything went back to normal and didn't experience any other side effects. I've been especially pleased with not gaining any weight.
I had to stop taking hormonal birth control for a month to get blood work done, and began taking Aviane again about a month ago. This time, I didn't experience any hot flashes, but did have the lack of lubrication for about a week. My body has, once again, adjusted to the hormones and everything has been side effect free since."
