Experiences with

Dianette

In addition to the 50mg levo I also currently take Dianette (for PCOS), vit D, B12 and selenium supplements. Thank you.

I am on the combined pill Dianette and because my periods are so painful and heavy I choose to piggy back pills, so after 21 days I will go straight onto the next 21 days of the pill without a bleed. I am 4 days into the third strip (3rd set of 21 days) but wish to have a period now.

I don't think I've ever had a break from it, but have changed pill over the years (Dianette, Yasmin, Cilest, Lizinna). I keep going through about a 4/5 month block where I don't have a withdrawal bleed during my 7 day break. I do sometimes have spotting during the month.

Hi everyone, Please can you share positive and negative experiences of these OCPs? I get terrible PMS, period pain, have hirsutism and hair thinning. I diet and exercise to keep my weight under control and take supplements as recommended but still have these symptoms really badly so considering the

So I have been on Dianette for 60 days, and yesterday I took a break due to the side effects affecting my daily life. My mental health has got worse since being on it (different story itself), but I feel constantly tired, constantly hungry and my head is pounding.

I used to take Dianette which was fantastic but I was taken off it when I gained too much weight and my GP now says they don’t prescribe it anymore My main question is, do these things seem like they would be a result of my weight and bad eating?

I have been on all of the acne contraceptive pills (including Yas/Yasmin) and have been on dianette now for way over a month. I have spent way to much money on skincare routines which will "cure" acne, and I have got to the point I cannot leave the house without feeling ashamed.

Hello, my little girl is now 1 and I have therefore stopped breastfeeding and am back on Dianette (the pill) which used to help me massively with excess hair when I was younger. I've been on it two months and there are no signs of the excess hair improving.

By now I’m on Cilest as my GPs have removed me from Dianette as I was on it longer than I should have been. I start taking more supplements the iron properly again and the minoxidil however my hair loss continues in the year that follows and my weight is now 18stones.

At some point I did use Dianette 35 as a method for trying to get my period straight however, it made everything much worse. I tried Cerelle as my last option back-to-back however, the pain was the same and I bled right through it.

She put me back on dianette pill which I didn’t really want to do and told me to stick with the coil for a few more months as she thinks it will get better.

Is Dianette the same as Yasmin? Should I try this or is there something else suitable for PCOS? Any advice is appreciated. Thankyou!

I have been on the pill since I was 16 (dianette) which worked wonders for my skin but I’m still v hairy including on the face. I am now 30 and about 5 years ago switched to Yasmin (doctors orders).

On Dianette it almost disappeared and in less than a year it's exploded again. Shaving isn't practical any more. Is there anything aside from shaving/waxing and threading I can do?

However in the meantime I was wondering if I could take dianette to help some of my symptoms, my acne has flared up really bad and my periods are awful. Has anyone had experience taking dianette and do you think it would be an issue for me to take for the next 4-5 months before surgery x

This may be such a minor thing to worry about, but I've been on Dianette for 6 months and I put in a renewal for another 6 months worth of tablets. But I had a phone call to say I needed to make an appointment with a nurse (but it couldn't be any old nurse) next week before I get my tablets.

Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with PCOS and I'm currently on Dianette. I'm wondering as I'm currently on CWP, and the doctor had said it can cause weight gain, is this still possible even though I am currently dieting?

I was put in dianette and told to go on a low GI diet and left to it by the doctors.

I was put on Dianette which was wonderful, but it made my BP too high so switched to a POP pill. Saw a consultant who basically said come back when you want to conceive. Since then I've had no help or assistance and have been managing on my own.

I had a few months on Dianette to deal with the bad acne and my GP and I knew I had used it with no probs before to clear up my skin. I came off that when I burst an ovarian cyst on a flight last summer. I have now found a progesterone only pill which works for me.
