And do you think it makes it difficult for you to lose weight?

have you asked about cileste - it is meant to reduce any possible weight gain that may be assocaited with contraceptives??

I took it for ages, and it didn't have any effect on my weight. It was great actually - made my skin very clear. I'd definitely recommend it

Oh, are you already on it? Sorry if I misunderstood the question.

I took it for years, and had no trouble with it. Other types I have been on were much more problematic weight gain wise. I suspect that different pills suit different people, and you have to search out the one that agrees with you.

DD has been on it for a couple of years & she certainly lost quite a bit of weight last summer - thankfully she has now started to put it back on, but I don't think the Dianette makes any difference in that respect.

Yes I am already on it and it has worked wonders on my skin but I have put on about 10lbs since I started taking it and I cannot get the weight off. I hate being overweight and I hate acne. I wondered if anyone had stopped taking it and found it easier to lose weight. I eat healthily most of the time and go to the gym nearly every day.
I don't know anything about Cileste weeonion, will google now.
