| Pros | I cleared up my skin, made my periods shorter, I actually lost a little weight. |
|---|---|
| Cons | MOOD swings, headaches, restless. |
| Bottom line | Thi a pill that is great for the treatment of PCOS (polycystic ovaries). I was having alot of problems with hair growth in the wrong places and not getting a period at all. It has help regulate my hormones and relieved many of my irritating symptoms. |

| Pros | Can skip periods, very effective |
|---|---|
| Cons | HAIR LOSS, ACNE |
| Bottom line | I loved Diane when I fist started taking it. I didn't have the mood swings that I had had with every other bc....But after about 4 months of taking it, I developed cystic acne (i've never had acne in my life and i'm 23) and my hair started falling out. I am definitely switching soon. I also gained about 10 lbs. But I heard that is the norm with most birth control. |

| Pros | Clearer skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | loss of labido made me emotional hair loss on my head |
| Bottom line | I liked it at first, then my sex drive went way down and I started losing my hair! My skin looks great, but I feel like crap and am very emotional. |

| Pros | Cleared my skin up completely, able to extend amount of time between periods |
|---|---|
| Cons | Price is steep |
| Bottom line | I love Diane-35. I have been on probably 4-5 other types of birth control pills, but this is my favourite. It cleared my face up in around 2-3 months, although I started seeing results before that I believe. I had even been on Ortho Tri-cyclen which is supposed to be good for acne, but Diane-35 was 10x better. Because my periods are very heavy, I am able to take 3-4 packs of Diane-35 before I have to take a break and have my period. It didn't make my periods any lighter or shorter like most people say, but they are more bearable because I only have a period once every 2 or 3 months. I have only experienced spotting when I forget to take a pill, but it resolves itself within a few days. The only downside would be the price. I just stocked up today and 3 packs cost me $115 (cdn)! Thankfully I have a drug plan... I love Diane and if you're unsure, all I would say is try it. You really don't have anything to lose. |

| Pros | Works well as a birth control pill. Cleared up my face more than anything else I tried, although still got breakouts, just not as bad and not as often. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Excessive weight gain... I lost 30 pounds before going on the Dianne 35 when I was 18, and after I got on it, I gained the 30 back, plus another 30. Even with plenty of exercise and healthy diet, it is very hard for me to lose the weight while on it |
| Bottom line | Worked okay for my face, didn't clear everything up, but it was not worth it for the weight gain. I didn't have to pay anything because I have a health plan that covered it, but if I did have to pay, $50 is not worth it, especially if you're just going to gain weight! |

| Pros | Absolutely beautiful radiant clear skin for at least 6 years! Regular periods with NO PMSing! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Intense headaches, mood swings, weight gain, chest pains, and visual problems. |
| Bottom line | This pill worked great. I started it when I was 17 and stopped when I was 23 because I could not handle the side effects anymore plus I though I was "over" my acne. This pill has 4 times the risk of getting a DVT (blood clot in the leg) verse any other BCP. It is idiosyncratic meaning it can happen to anyone (no links associated with girls who died from getting DVT's). It is not approved for use for more than 3 month. In fact, there has been a warning for this product since 2003 from Health Canada and it is NOT approved for use in the US. This all made me realize something must be up and that I was going to get off it. Anyways, this stuff works great but eventually I decided I was harming my body and stopped. Unfortunently, I broke out again. Not as bad as before but enough for me to start researching again about what to do. I am now trying spironolactone 50mg per day and will see how that goes. I have to admit, this pill was amazing b/c NOTHING made my face break out on |

| Pros | -clear skin -regular and painless periods |
|---|---|
| Cons | I haven't found any 'cons' yet. It has made me considerably LESS moody because my homrones are more stable, i guess. I'm scarred for the future though after reading those reveiws about hairloss! arrrr |
| Bottom line | I love the way it worked for me, wonderful. I think that it is utimately more useful for those who know that their break outs ARE hormaonal. Anti-biotics were hopeless for my skin and my break-outs were monthly, whether i got a period or not! But it's all good now... |

| Pros | headaches (in the beggining), hairloss |
|---|---|
| Cons | beautiful skin |
| Bottom line | If you major concern is acne (mine was not severe, it was medium) then it might be a good idea to start on Diane 35. You have to use it for more than six months to see results. But once you stop using it, the acne comes back only two months after you stopped. The hairloss was not good. I had a beautiful waivy strong hair and now it's less full and straight. But my skin? Gorgeous!! Therefore I recommend it only as a acne treatment, not as a birth control pill. |
