hey everyone, does anyone know what diane 35 is? if so, what are the side-fx, and does it actually work?

I then started getting really oily skin. I went to my doctor and was given Yasmin as nothing else prior to that worked. I have been taking it now for 6 weeks and my acne has cleared but my skin is still oily. I have never had oily skin before and it is so difficult to deal with. When will Yasmin start to work & help my oily skin?

Therefore, I would like to point out that patients experiencing headaches whilst on a combined pill like Yasmin or Diane35 must seek medical advice.

Hello, the only two pills I tried were Yasmin (I am currently still on it and have been on it for 3 years) and Diane 35. I feel absolutely fine with Yasmin! I was so scared when I began to take it (esp. since my doc said I will have to take it forever), but I really feel much better with it than without it. I never gained weight from it either. And I didn't feel anything when I began taking it. Maybe your symptoms are caused by the change you made from Estelle to Yasmin?

I take the birth control pill Diane ED 35, and I am in my second month of using it. When it came around to take my first lot of sugar pills, I took them for two days and then went straight back to the active pills. I did this about 13 days ago, and for the last 11 or so days I have had my period. It is fairly light but still noticeable. Why is this happening, and will it go away within the next 6-7 days? Because I am so sick of it and really really can't have my period next weekend.

I was wondering if any one else has had a similar experience? Also I have done some reading and found that Yasmin is usually the alternative OCP to Diane, has any one tried changing from Diane to Yasmin?If so did it help?

I've been taking birth control for about four years, maybe take a few months. I'd do your research and talk it over with your doctor.
