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:

Much less Oily Skin, clear up of most breakouts (face and back) Shiny Healthy Hair, less body body hair

Cons:

Bad Headaches during the week that I am off the pill for my period which are untreatable with pain meds (tyneol etc)
Alot of bad reviews if you go off the pill, which I haven't yet so I can't speak to that

Curious to know if the people who went off this pill immediately went to another pill and still experienced the bad breakouts of if they stopped BC pills altogther? I am considering going off it due to the headaches but am scared of the acne it may cause if i do.

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:

I have been using Diane for 3 years. It cleared up acne completely! It's nice having control of menstruation's, less cramps.

Cons:

Some weight gain, but I have had to come off of Diane because a nasty side effect has been depression, anxiety, worrying and very little peace of mind.

I would not recommend using Diane 35 for a long period of time!! It was fantastic for clearing up acne but the side effects have been pretty awful and I definitely would not give it to teenage girls in case the mistake their depression for changing hormones or teenage angst.

Pros:

Clears acne, increased breast size

excessive weight gains, constant headaches & nausea, dryness in the vagina, frequent yeast infections, spotting dryness of the hair & skin

I would recommend it for acne treatment, but not to be used as a form of birth control.

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:

I think skin is clearer from this product, although I use Proactiv also, so not sure. Haven't got any kids, so that part is working.

Cons:

MOOD SWINGS, ZERO SEX DRIVE, VERY SORE BREASTS, INCREASED BREAST SIZE, WEIGHT GAIN. My fiance hates this this pill.. We have been bickering at one another since I started taking it.

I'm going off it once my 3 months is up. Very expensive too

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:

Less oily skin and hair

Cons:

tired, upset stomach, no appetite

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.
