Default Diane 35/Acne Cycles

Not sure if this should go in BCPs or Acne section - anyway I am on my 4th month of Diane 35 and am not noticing much acne improvement. My chin is completely broken out as bad as it gets right now.

I happened to notice, however, that during the week that I don't take the pill and get my period, my acne reduced considerably. Does anyone know what that means, hormone-wise?

Hi there..

Im just going to cut and paste a post I wrote from a previous topic..

OMGosh!! where do I start?? My experience with Diane35ED/Estelle35ED

I been off Diane 35 (Estelle 35) for the last 2 mths because of serious blood clotting issues, anyway apart from the fact that it made me heller crazy and worst most the week before AF, lots of crying and over reacting for nothing. I had very little (to none) improvement while taking it.

Anyway im so sorry to say but my acne had never been so bad in my life. I wouldnt even want to go out of the house for the first 4mths without makeup my skin looked hidious, I developed cystic acne that I never had before, I tried to stick out 9mths worth of pills that I had but I stopped at 7mths my skin never got better while I was on Diane, after an initial '4mths' breakout my skin just calmed down to what it was before taking BCP but with ugly cystic acne. I still have scarring from that initial breakout on Diane. However this is just my experience I may not have been taking Diane long enough to see if my acne would have improved but its highly unlikely? if I wasnt going crazy on it I probably would have stuck it out basically didnt work for me.

However this is just my experience, there are others on the thread that claim that Diane 35 cleared their acne totally, so what may work for some might not for others.

Anyways here is the link below for the whole thread:
Anyone on Diane 35?

Thanks for that Diane review, but I was looking to see if anyone noticed that during their period week on Diane, or any pill their acne was reduced and their face was more inflammed, and if so what does that mean, hormone-wise?
