Pros less oily hair and skin, larger breasts
Cons weight increased, mood swings
Bottom line i hate this it did nothing for my skin honestly, and i felt like a whale for 3 months.
the only good thing this did for me was increase my bust.. i would definately not recommend this.

Pros Less oily skin and hair withing 1 month, cleared acne within 2 - 3 months. Increased breast size slightly (though I started using it at 17 yrs so breast increase may have been a natural occurance at that age). No real weight gain, no mood swings.
Cons Frequent Spotting mid month, more of a hassle than anything. Other than that, no other cons.
Bottom line Used it since I was 17 (now 25). Have switched to Nuvaring for 8 months and saw increased acne within the first two months. Switched back to Diane and skin cleared immediately. Tried Alesse recently for 2 months, got acne immediately and some weight gain. Just started back on Diane again, skin is already clearing some. The spotting is something I'm willing to deal with as long as I don't have to deal with acne. Have done research on the added stroke/clot risk however do not feel that I'm high risk (non smoker, exercise, good diet) so I'm going to continue using Diane. May try Yasmine in the future however everytime I try a new pill, I get acne again and have to hide behind makeup for a couple of months. Much happier on Diane. But again, it works differently for everyone, luckily it works for me. Is expensive so price below is what I pay for 3 months when covered by my health plan.

Pros I've been trying everything for my acne problem.I was told to change my pill with Diana by my specialist.This is my 3rd month and my face is looking sooo good.
Cons However first thing it dries you out big time.I feel it in my hands and in my lips.But I use creams and whatever makes it softer.Secondly I wake up in the morning and no motivation for life.I cry for no reason!!Yes DEPRESSION!Thirdly I'm DD now!
Bottom line I will be visiting my skin specialist this week for an alternative medication if there is one as good as Diane And Depression free! Cos it ruins your life,your relationship and your social life!Nothing exciting..I used to be very positive but now completely different.

Pros Clear skin
Cons when you quit taking it the acne starts again
Bottom line I have never had acne as a teenager but it hit me hard at about 22. I had a very long fight with acne using everything available from antibiotics to diet and alternative medicine. Nothing worked. I tried Diane for 8 months and it worked great. Totally cleared my skin. Then I quit and guess what? 4 months later I start getting them again. I do not know what to do? It is so embarassing to have acne and scars all over your face but I do not want to stay on it forever? My doctor told me that if I do another 8 months that maybe enough, but who knows.
Though I should say that I did not have many side effects while taking Diane, no gain loss no mood swings, my sex drive did go down a little bit, and my breast did not increase at all, I wish it would.

Pros it made my period short and very precise in frequency. Made my boobs bigger?
Cons HUGE amount of weight gain in short period of time!!
Bottom line I gained almost 20 pounds in a month! I am a naturally very slender girl, and before i started taking this i was about 105 pounds. After one month of Diane 35, I gained 18 pounds, went from a small A to a mid-B cup size, and was scared sh*tless. My mom blamed it on puberty, but i switched to Alesse and i lost about 10 pounds. My boobs decreased slightly as well (sigh).
I saw no change in my skin whatsoever, but it was beneficial for my body i guess. I now have an actual figure instead of a stick-like shape.

Pros My periods are like clockwork now.
The acne has decreased significantly.
Cons I take Diane 35 with another medication called androcur which both have to be taken at specific times of your cycle which can be confusing at time.
Bottom line I like the treatment, very effective.

Pros It`s birth control-and controls acne
Cons Headaches constantly-bloating-weight gain-breast tenderness (extreme to where I have to hold them going down stairs)-seems to dry my skin out-extreme constipation-mood swings
Bottom line Have been on it for 3 yrs. I am sick of it and switching to alesse. It`s liek I am PMSìng 3 weeks a month. The only time I feel a bit better is while I have my 7 days off (period)

Pros Slight weight gain, short periods
Cons Acne worst, migraine, heavy periods
Bottom line I am currently on my last pack of Diane 35 and am not seeing any significant changes to my skin. I never had acne on my face, only after i stopped using Yasmin did i get this. Prior to that I only had it on upper back and chest lightly.

Since starting Diane 35, my I had a major breakout on my face and neck area...and it hasn't been better since. I did encounter a slight weight gain only about 2-3 lbs -but that's okay considering I'm naturally thin.

For me, this product has not worked and I will be discontinuing it after this pack. I've heard that it has worked for many individuals...so it could work for you...but for me it has not.
