Birth Control Pill Diane! ?

Question

I know this it is supposed to make your skin clearer. How long does it take? i have been on it for 2 months now and my skin seems worse. Does anyone have any first hand information on this pill. I was previoulsy on levlen ed for 6 years but decided to change for my skin. Also i sometimes feel sick in the stomach- is this normal. and my first period on this pill Diane was like 2 days but very light- is this normal.

Thanks guys for all your help!!

I have never done Diane itself but have done the U.S. version of it Yasmin.

It can take about 3 months to fully adjust to being on the pill.  Unfortunately, I've heard from some that tried Diane that said they found that their face got worse while on it.

As for the sick feeling in the stomach yes that can be normal to start off with but that should go away.  One thing you can do to try and minimize it is to eat something about 15 minutes before you take the pill or take it at bed time.

As for the lightness of the period yes that can be normal for some women as the pill tries to control the period better if one has problems with heavy periods.

Because of the issue with your face getting worse I would recommend letting your doctor know what's going on to have them evaluate the situation further.
