-Very emotional just before period (I guess this is normal, however I did not experience it during the first 6 months)
- Changes in sex drive
- Bloating
- Dryness
Recommended:Yes

Pros:-No Acne
Cons:-Bloated
-Huge weight gain/ Always hungry
-Depression
Bottom Line:I am only on my second month of Diane 35 but I've decided to end it because the amount of weight I have gained is an enormous amout. I went from very slim to chunky very quickly. I understand weight gain depends on the person. Acne was not a big issue for me, but what I had cleared up quickly. As for menstral pains, I still have them. I know you must stay on the pill for three months for Diane 35 to start working in that area. And another thing, since starting the pill I found myself very upset and depressed. I've seen some very good reviews, and some bad reviews. Depends on the person.

Pros:boobs grew, (but went back to normal once getting off the pill), face cleared up significantly but not 100%
Cons:more break outs once get off... but cant stay on forever because health risk.
Bottom Line:Ive beenon Diane for maybe a year now.. it took like 6 months for any results to show.... i was quite frustrated. my boobs got HUGE out of NOWHERE.. but they have since gone back to normal (*tear! i liked my big boobs)... this is beacuse i suck at taking pills and am really inconsistent with taking it. i know that is bad but im HOPING my inconsistency will help me get off the pill because it is NOT a healthy pill.. blood clots and sh*t can occur....NOT GOOD.
Recommended:No
