Today my doctor prescribed Dianette for me as I was looking to go back on hormonal contraception and have a nasty flare up of acne, which has been taking over my forehead and chin for the past 6 months (absolutely mortifying at the age of 32!).
I was on Microgynon for many years, from being 16-31ish with breaks to TTC and whilst pregnant. TTC was 8 months with DD1 and 6months with DD2. I stopped taking microgynon when EXDH left me, then I met FWB and we agreed to use condoms as contraception. Now I plan to start taking Dianette on the first day of my next period (my doctor's instructions).
Does anybody have any wonder/horror stories?
Side effects?
What is the contraceptive efficiency rate?
