Pros:

clear skin, shorter periods, bigger boobs ;)

Cons:

first two days of taking it I threw up a lot and felt weak... first month I didnt feel myself was very snappy and moody and ate a lot :(

The first month was really bad :( but after that it was ok!! Was back to being myself. Takes getting used to I suppose! :D My skin wasn't bad to begin with had some spots around the time of my period but now I dont even have that! My period used be about 6 days long now its only about 4. My boobs have grown... not a lot!! but I'm happier with them now! lol :D i used always have bad cramps on my period and i still do :( but I would definately reccommend this product!

Pros:

Acne has almost completley cleared up, periods are lighter, no weight gain, skin less oily

Cons:

Sore boobs, still get the odd spot around my period , took a few months before there was an improvement in my skin.

I had suffered from appalling hormonal acne around my chin and mouth for a long time. It would break out around ten days before my period, and I would have horrible puss filled painful spots. Just as they would be starting to clear up, I'd break out again and it was a vicious cycle. My skin began to scar and I felt self concious. I had tried everything. Benzyl Peroxide, Dalacyn, Oxytetracline. Then my doctor put me on dianatte. At first I noticed little results, in fact my skin was worse. Then after three months my skin suddenly began to imrpove. It was really noticable, I had fewer spots and my skin was far less oily. I'd guess that my skin is around 98% better than it was before. Ive been taking it for a year now and because I have less spots my scars are begining to fade away

Pros:

Worked wonders for my hair growth from androgen excess. Felt much better overall than with other medications. Better skin.

Cons:

Occasional headache in week 3. Some water retention.

Use it. I've been trying to solve the androgen excess problems for almost 20 years. This has been the first thing to help so effectively.

Pros:

Everything! Completely clears skin. Also regulates periods. Been taking it for 8 years.

Cons:

None. A bit of weight gain when you first start but that evens out and I have actually lost a lot of weight over the last two years.

I started Dienette at 14 due to my bad skin. Was told to come off it at 17 and try other pills such as Celeste and my skin was terrible I was soo depressed. Was then told to try antibiotics (oral and topical) and was allergic which I was actually grateful for as this meant the doctor gave me Dienetta again. Best thing ever. Worst thing I ever did was stop it. I don't notice any major side effects only the positive ones and if you eat healthily you should not gain much weight. All I worry about is the horror stories and coming off it. (which i'm not planning to!)

JUST A LITTLE PATIENCE
I was out of pills Dec2014 and come Feb2015, I started to have acnes. I have never had any acne problems before.. I've always had that 'porcelain' skin every girl dreams of so having them makes me feel so down and depressed because I don't know how to deal with it. After 2 weeks, they're all over my face and ofcourse I started freakin out. So I bought Dianette and guess what! MARCH and APRIL were the worst monthe ever. Everyday I wake up with 2-3 NEW CYSTIC acnes on my cheeks and forehead! I felt so depressed and started reading reviews here. And everyone said just be patient cause it takes 3-4 months before it does its magic and YES! On my 3rd pack, acne stopped showing on my face! I'm now back to having the smooth skin I've always had though I still have those nasty marks (ANYONE RECOMMENDS A GOOD ACNE SCAR REMOVAL REMEDY OR PRODUCT?) it's already been 2 weeks and I havent had any single acne on my skin! Yeehhhheeey! So girls, JUST BE PATIENT. It does wonders. ;)

Pros:

Improved skin within 3 montths, free

Cons:

Dry eyes

Dianette has worked wonders for my skin.. I get the occaisional spot but only small and my acne is just scars now. i saw a drastic improvement after 3 months of taking this pill, but before that I didn't see much happening. I have experienced none of the above side affects other than dry eyes. I am a contact lense wearer and I have never had a problem with them. It is only in the past few months that my eyes have been really dry and gritty. I have just been putting it down to over-use but after seeing that other people on dianette are experiencing the same, I may contact my doctor as my contact lenses are very improtant to me!

Pros:

Clearer skin on face after first pack. Back is almost clear. Much less hormonal.

Cons:

Constant nausea and tiredness which disappeared during 7 day break!

Seems to be an effective pill for clearing acne. However it is getting very frustrating constantly feeling sick and tired as I am usually very active and find I have less energy. Not everyone seems to experience these symptoms though, and the leaflet says most symptoms disappear after the first few months...I hope!!!

Pros:

Cleared up acne completely, apart from a few spots around my preioud.

Cons:

None. Maybe a slight moody and emotional. No weight gain.

Ive been on this pill for two years now. Ive suffered from acne since my early teens and NOTHING worked. I read up on Dianette and heard good reviews and I can happily say its been a life saver. I was getting so depressed over my acne i wouldnt go out and if it got really bad (id sometimes get cystic acne) and i wouldnt go to school. Dianette has cleared my spots up completely and im very scared of coming off it as i dont know what id do if my acne came back. I heard its quite strong too so ive been prescribed Yasmin, Ive read mixed reviews about Yasmin too so Im really worried my skin will get worse if I change pills. I will have to try it though because it might work for me as it has worked for other people. There will be lots of mixed reviews and horror stories about certain pills, but there will be many success stories too that people wont bother writing about. So do your research but dont take it as fact as the pill might just work for you. Good luck and hope this helps.
