Pros:

helped in acne, 7/10...

Cons:

breast tenderness, irregular periods, back pain, I feel like I've gained weight, mood swings,

I have only used it for about 3 weeks. Seems like its helping me with my acnes, and I am not taking it as a birth control. I have irregular periods and acnes thats why my doctor recommended it. But after reading the side effects I am so scared. Do we have to live of it once we start? This is the second time I am getting my periods this month. RECOMMENDED for people who have acne problems.

Pros:

None so far although it regulated my periods.

Cons:

My face is still the same with all the pimples.

I have used it for 8 mo. and still, hoping that for some miracle, it might work. Unlike other people, I lost some weight on it. I lost 20 lbs. during the entire period. Of course, I worked out. I just hope that it starts to work soon because I break out a lot during the summer.

Pros:

Can skip periods, no more acne.. just still scarring from before I took the pill.

Cons:

Constantly hungry.. 10 minutes after a big meal i'll feel hungry again but stomach will still be full. Weight gain. Feel flat alot.

Have been on dianne 35 since march 2006. My acne got worse before it got better, was alot worse about 2 months later.. but these days i have no complaints about my skin! I have noticed the weight gain, which is a reason i'm considering going off the pill now. I always feel hungry.. and have noticed i'm not quite the same person as i used to be before i started taking the pill..eg feeling flat alot. I used to get a fair few severe migraines but rarely get any at all ( maybe 2 a year).. which could possibly be because of the pill? I'm worried about how my skin will be if i ever stop taking the pill. I've heard reports of skin getting even worse :( btw, does it mean the severity fo my acne now? or before? Beofre taking the pill it was about moderate.. now its very light ie none.

Pros:

After one week of taking Diane 35 I saw a significant improvement in my skin. Clear, smooth, NO irritation or redness, reduced sensitivity. People are saying my skin is "glowing"! Also caused my breasts to swell and grow which i am happy about!

Cons:

I am experiencing severe abdominal pains...I started taking the pills the first day of my period as instructed which was 2 weeks ago and I still have my period. I will consult my doctor I even feel a bit bloated.?

I would recommend this product for sure to anyone with mild to severe acne it seems to really work from the inside out and I am happy with the results overall, except of course for the ongoing menstrual type cramps. I feel also that I am retaining more water now.

Pros:

cleared every single spot on my skin, bigger boobs, regular periods. I still can't get over how great my skin looked.

Cons:

my boobs were sensitive and achey, and when i stopped taking it my skin immediately started breaking out

I think its great for acne. My only concern is the breakouts which occured when i went off it. It's been years and i still experience breakouts, so much so that I'm thinking of going back on it to stop these breakouts.

Pros:

Gets rid of acne and oily hair/skin.

Cons:

Weight gain! I went from a size 0 to a size 9!

If you want clear skin then go for it! But if you are really cautious about weight gain, then I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros:

clear skin,less oily skin and hair

Cons:

cellulite,water retention, hair loss,poor leg circulation

the amout of cellulite scares me! I dont know if its caused by water retention or by taking hormones.My skin was not that bad to begin with, so the acne went away fas. I also experienced some hair loss.I started taking this only 3 weeks ago, but Im already going to go off of it.If I stay more than 5 minutes standing up, I notice some red spots on my legs, from poor circulation.I am giving it 3 stars because it does clear up your skin, but the side effects are a lot worse.

Pros:

clearer skin, larger breasts, no mood swings, no weight gain

Cons:

-

Ive been on diane for nearly four years and started because i had severe acne. I had to take the pimple pill roacutane as well to dampen the acne. It eventually went away and my skin is perfect. My breasts grew from size A's to big D's and was a bit overwhelming. I've stopped using diane for nearly a month now and am having a hard timing coping with my body changing to its natural self. I have started getting pimples again, experienced a minor weight loss, and my breasts have gone down to a C. I'm also experiencing constant headaches. Can anybody give me advice on whether i should go back on diane or stay off??
