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 have never gained weight on the pill but I know some do, if you do start gaining weight then look at another combined pill (I am on yasmin), I actually find it easier to lose weight when my hormones are more level by being on yasmin.

Not what you're looking for?
