I don't know Dayl ... I have a very good friend who had terrible acne at school. She was prescribed Dianne 35 for the acne and consequently has absolutely beautiful skin now, but who knows what will happen when it comes time for her to TTC and she has to stop the pill.

It sounds like perhaps the fact that you were taking the Dianne 35 while you were a teenager may have stopped the acne starting earlier than it would have (rather than it being a result of the holiday food).

Have you considered getting your GP to refer you to a dermatologist to see if there is a TTC-safe alternative to the Dianne 35, or a non-pharmaceutical alternative?
