Safety of the 'Diane' contraceptive pill under review

[Rowellen]

I take this (a cheaper version though) and it has been fantastic for my hormonal issues, so stressful, you take it to help one problem but it creates another...

This exactly for me too. I never quite felt right on it but loved my clear skin. I didn't want to go back on it now that I'm done having kids and that is one of the main reasons I wanted DH to get the snip instead. The only time I've ever felt normal is when we were TTC & I was taking metformin. I'm sure there's probably something wrong with that one too

GRRRRR. This is the ONLY thing that has ever cleared up my skin. I'm 33 dammit and I still have the pimples of a 15 year old. I just keep telling myself that as soon as my last baby weans I can have clear skin again.

NOT FAIR!!! (but thank you so much for the warning. I hate pimples, but compared to blood clots, well, pimples are just fine)

I took Dianne for 1 month, my boobs grew a cup size and I was a moody cow...then I went on Loette, loved my clear skin and even temperament

but thank you so much for the warning

No worries. I haven;t used this one but have used Brenda which I think it similar? But the pill never agrees with me so can't see myself going back on it again.
