Hi ladies,

I've seen a couple of posts on Diane-35/Dianette so I'd just like to share my experiences with it


I was on and off Dianette for 7 years and in my opinion it only excaberated all my PCOS symptoms.

Before I started taking it I had fairly bad acne and slightly irregular periods (mainly a 32 day cycle) but each time I took a break from it - my symptoms came back worse and worse. Also while I was on it I gained over 2 stone, had funny headaches and my libido just vanished.

I finally decided to try a more natural approach last year after reading various posts/articles on this web-site and others. This post really convinced me that I had made the correct choice

MUST READ: Do BCP's *really* help PCOS, or just cover it up?

It was awful the first few months after I had quit - my acne flared up horrifically, I got more hair than ever before, my face would be an oil-slick by lunch, my hair got greasy in no time....but I started cleaning up my diet, taking Vitex and other supplements, drinking gallons of water and taking some gentle exercise and now I have had 6 AFs in the last year (the last two with PMS symptoms and resembling my old 32 day cycle) and currently feel like I could have my next AF by this weekend right on cue (sore boobs...ouch).

Every gal has to make her own choice but that's just my two cents !!
