Pros:

bigger breasts, no more "backne"

Cons:

you get very irritable and moody and over sensitive near you period. a few pimples here and there but i am also rediculously stressed most of the time.

i really like this type of birth control. ive tried a few brands and this one seems to be the best for me. but thats just me. I didnt gain any weight or get blood clots.

Pros:

Beautiful porcelain skin, increased breast size, mild and stable periods

Cons:

extreme mood swings,depressions, spider veins, breast pain, headaches, sun sensitivity,skin worsens when trying to get off Diane, leg pain/cramps, dry skin

Oh boy, what a wake up call to read these comments ! I've been on Diane for a really long time ( years and years). This has been the ultimate medicine that has cured my acne. At the age of 12 I developed a terrible acne, and tried all sorts of creams and tetracyclines, which only helped for a short period of time. I've always had a healthy diet, exercised and followed any piece of advice that might improve my skin. I've always felt that it was so unfair that I have had to struggle with this skin problem, while my friends did not.All my self-confidence gradually disappeared ( especially when being told that my face looked like a pizza, or when my father (irritated )said:"What a terrible acne you have today !" I prayed every night that my skin problems would vanish, but wasn't exactly encouraged when my dermatologist told me that acne might last until my mid thirties !!I was desperate, and almost developed an eating disorder.Diane saved me, but I also hate it. I want off it, but dare not

Pros:

Helps to manage my really bad cyst acne (used along with Differin as the topical application)

Cons:

Bigger breast (don't really need),add me 3k (though I'm playing volley and badminton nearly everyday),scary side effects I've been reading (esp. after stopping Diane) and the fact that it's a BCP (I don't really want to take a BCP in the first place)

My cystic breakout make me looked like I've been splashed with acid (red,flaky,etc). My derm pres. Diane 35 and sampling of Differin. I didn't encounter any depressions, headache or morning sickness, which is good. But,it makes me more susceptible to joint injury (like spraining my wrist while I'm driving...freaky!) but then, maybe it's just me. Anyway, I hope to stop taking Diane 35 in another 3 months, and hopefully Differin could help combat my acne to the roots as informed by my derm. I really hope this works for me. I used to take Accutane, but it makes my body sick and I can't be exposed to the sun (which where I'm living it's not really practical-Malaysia). Hopes to also see the scar fades away (I'm using Bodyshop Vit C Skin Booster + Vit E combo, hopefully it works)

Pros:

Completely acne-free skin bar the odd spot now and again,hair much less greasier,bigger and curvier boobs,higher sex drive.

Cons:

Skin slightly dryer although nothing a decent moisturiser can't sort out,freckles more noticable and slight pigmentation above eye.

Been on this medication on and off for years for my acne and nothing has worked as well as Diane-35.Hair is much better condition-I found I had to wash it twice a day before,don't have any sickness as I take the pill just before sleeping,no weight gain at all,boobs are curvier,no tummy upsets.Overall,bloody good pill.

Pros:

it made my period short and very precise in frequency. Made my boobs bigger?

Cons:

HUGE amount of weight gain in short period of time!!

I gained almost 20 pounds in a month! I am a naturally very slender girl, and before i started taking this i was about 105 pounds. After one month of Diane 35, I gained 18 pounds, went from a small A to a mid-B cup size, and was scared sh*tless. My mom blamed it on puberty, but i switched to Alesse and i lost about 10 pounds. My boobs decreased slightly as well (sigh). I saw no change in my skin whatsoever, but it was beneficial for my body i guess. I now have an actual figure instead of a stick-like shape.

Pros:

Clear, flawless skin

Cons:

Works only when your on medication and the side-effects can be debilitating

I have had acne for as long as I can remember, started breaking at the age of 14, tired everything under the sun from antibiotics, diet and excercise but nothing really worked as well as Diane, I had it for 5 months and the effects started showing from the 3 month my skin had completly cleared, it really helped my self confidence, i stopped having it after the fifth month. My skin broke out in the worst possible manner after quiting, I did not want to go any where or meet anyone. My dermatologist asked me to go back on diane, i had for fifteen days but in the mean-time I did my research and found out that you had to be on diane to enjoy clear skin you most definately break out once you stop having it and the side-effects scared me, I took a call and quit it once again this time mid-cylce. I'm so glad I told the decision my skin is far from perfect but its getting there, I have the strictest diet, I exercise everyday and am on homeopathy and its working wonders.
