Hello Ladies! hope you all had a nice 4th of July. Listen, has anyone ever been on Aviane ? I went off the pill for a while and now I just started taking them again this past weekend. I gained some weight on Yasmin and I don't want that to happen again, so I am trying a lower dose pill. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on Aviane. Also, do you think it is probably the lowest dose pill I can possibly go on? Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hi nchristinzio, welcome back!

There are at least 4 other pills with 20 mcg of estrogen like Avaine and NuvaRing has only 15 mcg. See Judie's post "Your Pills and What's In Them: in the FAQ Folder at the top of the board. I hope Avaine works well for you.

Good luck,

      Jill

Hello Jill! thanks for your reply. Ok, I'll check Judie's post. I thought that Aviane had less then 20 mcg for some reason though?

It only has 10 mcg. I'm on Aviane. It's fine.

Hi ishyasylime, welcome back!

Actually, I think you were looking at the Progestin in Aviane. The Estrogen is 20 mcg. See the Barr catalog listing: http://www.barrproductguide.com/php/index.php3?view=12

I think I was looking at the same thing and thought it only had 10 of estrogen also. Is 20 still less then what Yasmin has? That was my concern because that is what I think caused the weight gain. Thanks again!

Hi nchristinzio,

Yasmin has 30 mcg of estrogen. This is from Judie's post, "Your Pills and what's In Them..." : 'Yasmin: 3mg drospirenone, 30mcg EE.' So, yeah, Avaine has a third less. That help?
