Experiences with

Dianette

Went back onto Dianette. November 2014 saw me have 2 major episodes of abdominal pain requiring attendance at A&E. Pain has been left sided every day since then. GP referred me to colo-rectal and urology as they seemed the most likely causes of stomach pains.

I took dianette years ago and that's the only one that agreed with me. But you can't have that again. Since then I had microgynon (nausea / heartburn), cerelle / cerezette (anxiety / headaches) and I tried several patches as well I think.

I've been using dianette pill now for quite a while and feel it's time to change has anyone had a specific pill prescribed to help with periods with endometriosis?? Also are there any meds to help with weight loss ??

I was put back on the combined pill (dianette) to see if the migraines came back. Which inevitably they did. Essentially being on the combined pill is the only thing that controls the bleeding.

I have came off dianette and been having really bad sharp pains on my right side, where my endo is worst, cld this be a flare up, or just that the pill masked this pain for me? was on the pill since I was 14 x hope someone can give a little advice xx

Anyone else took or takes dianette / Diabe 35?

I'm about to finish taking the pill (Dianette) and my husband and I are hoping to start trying for a baby. I'm extremely anxious about it all as I've had gyn issues since I was young and am terrified I can't conceive.

I was told at 16 that I had pcos and was put on dianette, these pills didnt help with any of the symptoms, at about 18 i was put on yasmin and whilst it helped regulate my periods I was still getting a lot of period pain and leg pains, they sent me for a scan on my ovaries which came back clearso I dont

- which I tried, When I came off the dianette I was like a different person - I felt OK to go out and socialise where as before I would have sat at home crying at the thought - my boyfriend urged me not to go back on the dianette - I tried others including cerazette - this made me vomit during the night

I decided to come off Dianette as I read a lot about estrogen dominance and also being on the pill long term can't be good for me. I came off it 3 weeks ago and the constipation, weight gain, lump in throat, depression etc.. has all come back!

I'm taking liothyronine and also taking the pill (dianette). I think liothyronine is reducing the pills effectiveness and maybe vice versa. It says it on liothyronine's patient information leaflet. No doctor warned me about this.

I have been taking Dianette for the 2 weeks now and I developed a severe headache with shooting pains last night and its still there today. It actually woke me up through the night. Do you think this is due to the Dianette or just a coincidence?

I tried cerazette for a couple of years and have now been taking dianette for two months. I am 28 next week and worry about my chances of conceiving.

My new GP freaked out when she realised I'd been on dianette for 15 years when you are only supposed to be on it for 2. So she changed the pill and the whole thing started again.

I have been on Dianette since November after my Lap and have put on more than half a stone. I am only 5ft 2, so I can't afford to put this weight on..... Any suggestions! I have an appointment with the Nurse this evening to see if she can suggest anything for me as it's really getting me down!

or will it affect the nexplanon?

I was swapped 2 weeks ago to Dianette in an attempt to clear up awful skin I gained from July-December whilst not on the pill. My pain journey started in November.

The consultant has recommended I start taking Dianette. I have never had a good experience with the pill and was on it from 15 to 31 due to Period problems and Acne, however it seems that coming off it (5 years ago) has brought the Endo to a head (I didn't even know it).

I'm due to be switched from Dianette to Marvelon by my Gyny Dr as he thinks I've got Endometriosis but wants to switch pills to help reduce my odd bleeds and pelvic pain which I've been getting even though I've been taking it back to back for a year.

Been prescibed Dianette - worked well apart felt very sick for a month initially (due to the anti-androgens) then had from occasional pains and lots of blood clots (for a year). Was changed to Marvelon yet have constant period pain (yet no bleeding which is a bonus- been on it 2mths).
