My Aunt, who is a doctor, and my cousin suggested me to take Diane 35 to control my acne breakout last summer, which was caused by hormonal imbalance. My cousin had an acne breakout when she came home from Taiwan two years ago; she was really desperate because graduation is 3 months away and pimples just keeps popping on her face. Of course, she consulted an OB Gynecologist which was one of her mom’s friends. Her face was acne-free after 2 months of taking Diane. Now, she only gets pimples before her period.

Acne is caused by excessive production of hormones called androgens. If your system is producing extra androgens, your oil-producing glands will produce more oil which will cause more acne.

There were some reports of common side effects from women who took Diane 35:

• dizziness
• nausea
• breast pain, tenderness, or swelling
• mood swings
• vomiting
• weight gain or loss

I think the side effects depends on each person. As for my cousin and I, we didn’t experienced any negative side effects. After taking Diane 35 for the first month, I’ve noticed my skin getting more clearer, my skin became super less oily than before, no abdominal cramps and my menstrual cycle became regular.

If you’re going to use Diane 35 for the first time, I advice you to consult with an OB Gynecologist first to know whether or not Diane 35 is safe for you. Yes, we all want to be beautiful, but our health comes first.

If you’re having second thoughts on taking an oral contraceptive pill, then I’d like to recommend F2F (face to face) — Tried and tested!  It’s guaranteed to have no negative side effects!

Have you tried taking an oral contraceptive pill? What was your experience? ^^
