Hi Loulou,
I was on dianette for about 8 months and I found it great. My heavy, painful periods got much lighter and regular and I wasn't ill in bed for two days every month with the pain anymore! My facial hair improved but I think my body hair stayed pretty much the same. Also, I used to have really bad spots on my face, back and chest and that really improved too. I was really glad to be on it.
Recently though, my doctor told me that she thought I should go on Yasmin instead as there had been reports of deep vein thrombosis connected with Dianette. She told me it wasn't really anything to worry about but that it was prob best to switch to yasmin anyway. I had no problems at all with Diantte.
Good luck with it! |
