So I've got 2 pills left of my second packet of Dianette, and my skin does seem to be improving, slowly but surely. I've had less whiteheads, less pustules, and my general skin tone seems to have improved. I'm still having breakouts but they're not as bad as they were before Dianette. I'm currently going through a bad few days (not helped by picking) but I'm hoping it's all healing up again now. But, I've put on about 4 pounds during this time which is a crazy amount to put on in just under 2 months!? If I were to put on 2 pounds a month, after roughly 6 months I would've put on a stone!

I'm going to carry on with Dianette for a bit longer to see if the weight gain stops and my skin improves. But I was just wondering, if I were to change pills to say, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, would I be likely to put on weight with that too seeing as I'm obviously sensitive to high doses of estrogen?

I've taken microgynon and yasmin before (not prescribed for acne) and I didn't gain weight with either of those. If anything I lost weight with yasmin but I developed acne whilst on it.
