Diane-35 : Oral Contraceptive

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.

I have been on Diane 35 for 2 yrs and I have only noticed a slight improvement, my acne still flares up, have tried all over the counter products..but what else is there ??

I have been on Diane 35 for 6 years. I originally started using it for irregular periods and acne.I found it didn't help with acne at all & know i have had to resort to taking roaccutane for my skin. Very bad mood swings & high loss of libido. Also very bad vaginal dryness. Now have been recommended to get off Dianne as no longer need it for my skin though am a bit worried at what might happen once i get off????

Its good!!!!

I used it several years back and just used it again recently so I cant tell yet if I'll gain some weight since Im currently dieting.It's very good for the skin and if you are sexually active and will also make you feel more "feminine" because of the increase in female hormones (bigger boobs and hips). The only thing I dont like the most is the feeling of being pregnant- dizzy, vomiting, and stomach acidity - just like the morning sickness. I dont like depression as well because I just cry anytime for no reason even when im at work. I became more sensitive to contact lenses since I took this pill, like the initial feeling when I first fit my contact lenses

i have had moderate to mild acne over the years. since i started taking diane 35, i can see changes in my face and people complement about it. however, it only clears it 50% and i still have to use solutions and creams for my face.

I've started with it 3 1/2 years ago cause i had body hair in atypical regions for a woman (not very thick or ostensibly visible, but still bothering - especially in my teenage years); I also had a mild form of acne. In a few months I felt and looked much more feminine - the pimples were more or less gone, the skin seemed much less harsher, brighter, and smoother, my breasts increased, I put some weight, small improvements concerning the body hair, etc. While I was on it, I've confronted a lot with depression (I had some bouts of depression also before taking it), inability to concentrate(I used to be a very quick and focused thinker, great at problem-solving), tiredness, gain weight, limb swelling and pain - obviously related with the drug; recently I stopped taking it; immediately I developed an ovarian cyst and I put 5-6 kg in one month around the waist; after two months a I also got terrible acnea; I'm much better now, but I have to take it again because of the cyst :(

i have to try it first

I started taking Diane at 14, after 4 years of periods that were inconsistent, but usually about a week apart. I was also having painful acne. I have been taking Diane for over a year now. Initially the results were great, but gradually I had put on over 10kg. Also, I had not had much period pain before the pill, but now I am in pain up to 24 hours before my period and lasting for the remainder. I have had times of depression, ranging in severity, and have actually pinpointed it to a particular point in my cycle, which never happened before. The results do part, especially with acne ( I love my skin) but as for the rest of it :( I am soon changing to another pill.
