Pros ...still waiting
Cons I've only been on this for one week but in the past two days, I have been so emotional. It's been frightening really. Crying, depressed, sad, thinking such pessimistic thoughts. I tried Microgynon a few months back and that had bad results too.

Pros Beautiful clear skin, lighter pain free period, no diahorrea, fewer breakouts
Cons Bouts of deppression, vaginal dryness, lethargy, moodswings
Bottom line I have been on Diane 35 for a year and and two months. I have seen remarkable improvement on my skin and kind finally feel alive while having a period. Only thing is I am now hearing of the side effects such as "clots" that worry me. If it were not for those I'd stay on it.

Pros Clear skin, reduces cysts on ovaries, regular periods
Cons Weight gain, headaches, lowers libido

Pros Cleared my skin beautifully; reduced facial hair; regulated periods.
Cons Too many negative side effects to detail!
Bottom line I was on Diane 35 for 6 years for PCOS. During the first 2 years, I didn't experience any problems whatsoever; however, over the next 4 years, I experienced chronic morning sickness (I wish my doctor at the time had suggested I take it at night to combat this), terrible anxiety, occasional crushing chest pain, shortness of breath, loss of sex drive, and loss of appetite, and that's an abbreviated list.

My current physician was shocked when I told him how long I had been taking Diane 35. He claimed that it's meant to be taken for a year or so to clear the skin, and then it should be substituted with another form of birth control to maintain the results.

Once I stopped taking Diane 35, all these problems resolved quickly. I now take Ortho Cyclen, which has kept my skin reasonably clear, without the numerous side effects of Diane 35.

Pros cleared skin
Cons depression, high anxiety, low sex drive
Bottom line Cleared my skin, with the exception of a mild break out the week before my period. I went off of it after 4years of being on it because the mood swings where too much to handle.

Pros Perfect skin, I was on it for several years.
Cons slight weight gain due to increased appetite, mood swings, i was ultra emotional on it, headaches and decreased energy.
Bottom line It gave me perfect skin...I have now been off it for 3 months and my acne has returned esp. on my back. it's annoying to have acne at 30.

I am tempted to start taking it again, but I keep hearing about health issues with it and worry, so I'm on the hunt for something else that works as well, without the cons. I am recommending it only because it does works for acne like a charm.

Pros Less oily skin and hair
Cons tired, upset stomach, no appetite
Bottom line I have been eating Diane-35 for about a month, and I have noticed that my skin and hair are less oily, but I still have some pimples ...

What I am wondering though, is that people that say they gain a lot of weight from eating this pill - is that because of bigger appetite?
I know that it is easy to gain weight from all bcp - but I want to make my best by eating healthy and continuing working out a lot.

Pros Nothing.
Cons Severe migraines, nausea, vomiting...
Bottom line I was on this for a week before I had to give up and stop taking it. The fact it was supposed to clear up my skin was insane to trade for feeling soooo sick. I have tried other pills, and this one has by far had the worst side effects for me.

Pros Clear skin yeah!
Cons moody, my feet hurt occasionally
Bottom line I stopped using Diane 35 few months ago after 3 years of use every month. During the period I didn't notice any serious side effects, honestly. I didn't gain any weight, my period was regular (before that I had no period) and my face was perfect!!!!
The first month after I stopped taking the pill I got my period (on it's own) and I said "Aleluyah", I'm healed. But now it's all coming back to me again: I don't have period and my face it's starting to break out again. I'm getting upset because I'm 29 years old and I feel like I'm going back in my teenage time!!! I don't know what to do. I don't know if I should go back to Diane 35, but how long will I have to take the pill? All my life?!? And my other even bigger concern, is my period! I don't know if my hormones are in balance now, and will I ever be able to get pregnant? I'm confused....If I call my doctor she may say to take Diane 35 again. My mom thinks it's because I'm stressed out all the time.
