Pros skins less oily, breasts have definitely grown, slight weight gain
Cons migraines starting with day 4-6, legs and arms ached a bit
Bottom line i've only been on it for two weeks but i see a slight improvement with my skin, and after only about a week - my breasts have already grown!

theres some weight gain - which is definitely pro for me

the migraines were a bit worrying at first, but it goes away. definitely will stay on it and get back her to recount.

Pros Clear skin, bigger breast(thank God), cheap plan
Cons Slight weight gain, moodiness, depression
Bottom line I was fortunate to not have acne as a teenager however as an adult I have suffered severely with acne. I have tried everything, from diet, exercise, antibiotics, creams........and I can go on but nothing helped. I've been on Diane 35 for 2 months now and the results are awesome. My skin has cleared up and I get compliments all the time. I definitely recommend this treatment for acne.

Pros completely cleared up my skin within 2-3 months, lighter periods with no cramping
Cons not available locally
Bottom line I have been fortunate enough to not have experienced some of the nasty side effects mentioned here. Before taking Diane I had suffered from moderate acne for 12 years, mostly breaking out in my chin area. Like others, I had tried practically everything out there to clear up my skin, all to no avail. I did not expect the results I got with Diane and was so happy to have clear skin for the first time in what seemed like forever. About 4 months ago I started taking a lot of vitamins for detox purposes and I believe that they interacted with the Diane because I missed 2 periods and then finally got the worst, heaviest period I had ever experienced accompanied by horrible cramps. Right around that time my face broke out terribly - worse than it had been before taking Diane. I am just now on my second month of taking Diane again and hopefully it will clear up my skin again. I fear I may have to be on it for the rest of my life - for the sake of vanity. Ugh. I need my confidence back!

Pros slight improvement of acne, larger breasts (but that could also be a con to some people).
Cons slight weight gain, moodiness (almost anything can bring me to tears), severe cramping during menstruation (i had virtually no cramps before taking Diane).
Bottom line i don't think the pros outweigh the moodiness, the weight gain, and the cramps.

Pros affordability
Cons very dry skin- face, hands, feet
still get cystic acne - more than 3 at a time
mood swings
Bottom line I have acne vulgaris(cystic acne) that doctors say is caused by imbalanced hormones. I have tried everything on the market from Accutane(twice) to homeopathy and nothing has worked. Diane 35 does not seem to be working after a year of use. I am getting 3 or more cysts at a time and they are very sore. I have not noticed any weight gain but I sure do have very dry skin on my hands and face. I am thinking of quitting but am curious as to what will happen. I have so many scars and I hate how I look when I have these embarrassing cysts on my face. Have not noticed the breast increase either. Mood swings - yes. Depression - sometimes. Sex drive - some. Not sure where to go with this one.

Pros great skin, bigger rounder breasts, cheap (well at least in brazil)
Cons hard to keep the weight off
Bottom line i noticed a dramatic change in my skin after just 1 month of taking diane. completely clear now..in the first 2 months i suffered pretty bad mood swings & depression but now after 4 months i actually seem more emotionally stable... i think my sex drive as decreased a little bit but i still enjoy. I ave gained about 3 or 4 kilos. the side effects did not hit me hard but i would like to come off it. but reading the stories about break outs after stopping im afraid to stop...

Pros Clear, flawless skin
Cons Works only when your on medication and the side-effects can be debilitating
Bottom line I have had acne for as long as I can remember, started breaking at the age of 14, tired everything under the sun from antibiotics, diet and excercise but nothing really worked as well as Diane, I had it for 5 months and the effects started showing from the 3 month my skin had completly cleared, it really helped my self confidence, i stopped having it after the fifth month.

My skin broke out in the worst possible manner after quiting, I did not want to go any where or meet anyone. My dermatologist asked me to go back on diane, i had for fifteen days but in the mean-time I did my research and found out that you had to be on diane to enjoy clear skin you most definately break out once you stop having it and the side-effects scared me, I took a call and quit it once again this time mid-cylce. I'm so glad I told the decision my skin is far from perfect but its getting there, I have the strictest diet, I exercise everyday and am on homeopathy and its working wonders.
