Subject: Aviane Generic for Alesse

Question
My dr. just put me on Aviane. This is my first time ever on birth control im 20 yrs old. Can you tell me ne thing about Aviane? No one I know has ever been on it.

Answer
Hello Kristian,
I'm not a medical doctor so please check with your personal physician. If he prescribed it for you, he should have the information. Do you need to be on birth control at all? The reason I'm asking is because I don't recommend it because of the hormones and the way the pill works. I'm going to add some of that information below. Hope this helps and feel free to email me back at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com

<Progestins and the estrogen in the pill are artificial hormones that
make your body believe that it is pregnant month after month. All the
vital organs in your body are affected by the constant use of the pill.
It contains powerful steroids and artificial hormones.
This constant presence of powerful steroids is not healthy, and there
are side effects when using the pill. Here are the ways the pill can
work.
1. It can prevent ovulation (releasing an egg from the ovary)
  2. It can cause the mucus in the cervix to change so that if sperm
reach the cervix, they are not allowed to enter, and
  3. It can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first two
actions fail, and you do become pregnant, your body will reject the
fetus (baby) and he or she will die.
It's called a chemical abortion.

Here are some of the side effects of the pill:
-bacterial infections (because the pill weakens the immune system.)
-more susceptible to the AIDS virus (HIV) because the pill weakens the
immune system
-pelvic inflammatory disease-an infection of the fallopian tubes that
can cause sickness or sterility
-infertility-unable to ever bear children
-ectopic pregnancy
-shrinking of the womb (endometrial atrophy)
-mood swings and depression
-breast cancer
-blood clots
-birth defects in children conceived while women are on the pill
-tender breasts
-stroke
-cervical cancer
-weight gain >
