| Pros: | Beautiful smooth skin (peace of mind), soft thick hair, and all the benefits of a BCP (e.g., regular cycles) |
| Cons: | Nothing that is worse than having acne |
| Bottom Line: | Diane has given me 12 years of beautiful smooth skin and the confidence that I wont wake up to a face full of pimples. I first took it for a year and then went off it, but after a year I became frustrated with acne again (can't remember how long it took to return) and went back on it for 12 years (I'm 33 years young now!). I reluctantly stopped taking it 4 months ago as my husband and I would like to try and have a baby. I have had a couple of pimples on my chin but nothing distressing. On the back of my neck I have developed full-on acne but am not too worried about it given it's not a noticeable area. My skin and hair are very oily and my breasts have gone from a D-cup to a B, but nothing too problematic so far (fingers crossed it stays that way). The first 'home-made' period was associated with terrible depression but it only lasted for about two weeks and am feeling normal again. On the weight gain issue - I think all BCPs affect weight. |

| Pros: | clears skin, shapes your body (breasts & hips), hair in better condition |
| Cons: | none |
| Bottom Line: | i use these pills before going to sleep as i heard they start "working" after 4-5hrs and can be tough to handle with. although once i took it during the day and had some problems with breathing (like there was no oxygen) and felt too hot all the time. still, i'm more than satisfied with the results and strongly advise it to everyone with similar problems |

| Pros: | none yet |
| Cons: | headaches especially at nights |
| Bottom Line: | I went to my Gyno to recommed a birth control for me as Im getting married soon, she noticed that I have some acne(had this since 12 and I 26 now) and prescribed Diana 35, I have been taking it for just about two weeks now and notice that I get headaches every night about 2 hours after taking the pill, have'nt seen any improvement in my acne yet but I'm definately going to continue using it, as I will love to have clear skin, and bigger breasts I realy want bigger breasts, this will make me feel more confident and sexy, which will lead to a better sex life for me and my husband to be. No mood swings, belive this is all in your mind. |

| Pros: | No worries when you are sexually active, bigger boobs, acne free BUT dry skin, no weight gain |
| Cons: | DEPRESSION... I cry for no reason at all! nausea, vomiting, stomach upset, contact lens intolerance |
| Bottom Line: | I used it several years back and just used it again recently so I cant tell yet if I'll gain some weight since Im currently dieting.It's very good for the skin and if you are sexually active and will also make you feel more "feminine" because of the increase in female hormones (bigger boobs and hips). The only thing I dont like the most is the feeling of being pregnant- dizzy, vomiting, and stomach acidity - just like the morning sickness. I dont like depression as well because I just cry anytime for no reason even when im at work. I became more sensitive to contact lenses since I took this pill, like the initial feeling when I first fit my contact lenses |

| Pros: | Clear skin! |
| Cons: | Mood swings, headaches, sore eyes, dry skin, wrinkles. |
| Bottom Line: | For the first 3 months I had mood swings, sore eyes and headaches, but after my body adjusted it was worth it! I am so happy with the results. I have pretty bad wrinkles around my eyes now from the dryness of my skin, but nothing botox or a good wrinkle cream won't fix. Make sure you buy a really good eye cream before starting the tablets, I wish I did! I totally recommend you give it a try, and stick out the side effects, because they can get better in some cases, like mine. |

| Pros: | Gets rid of acne and oily hair/skin. |
| Cons: | Weight gain! I went from a size 0 to a size 9! |
| Bottom Line: | If you want clear skin then go for it! But if you are really cautious about weight gain, then I wouldn't recommend it. |
