The Pill

[ellen_16]

I've been taking the pill for about 6 weeks and i take it every day (i have however forgotten 5 times!) I have been having like a dodgy period though - what's the deal with that? Am i doing something wrong? Its 'Dianette' if that helps

I had awful problems with Dianette. It was causing tumours to grow in my breasts (not cancerous thankfully) apparently, I should have only been on it for a maximum of 3 months but was on it for 3 years!!! It was also banned at one point because of so many compliants...... I always tell my friends to get another brand. Although your problems are most likely to be because of you forgetting to take it, I wouldn't risk it personally. To help remember in future, try putting it into your routine, like after brushing your teeth for example.

i also had big problems with dianette, gave me real bad headaches n put my blood pressure soaring!! alot of my friends have the same problem (forgetting to take it) so they set a daily alarm on their mobile phone to remind them!!! xx
