The only thing to EVER help my skin
Advantages in less than 6 weeks I had near perfect skin (and it used to be AWFUL)
Disadvantages I experienced some discontinuity with my period
So I'll start with this bit
Listed potential Side Effects:-What do you do?
I got a pink packet that it easily set up with the days of the week on so I didn't lose track. You take 1 a day for 21 days and then have a break of 7 days. You should be taking the pill at roughly the same time every day (so every 24 hours)- although you can take it up to 12 hours after the time without it affecting your level of protection.Now it is siggested that 2-3 days into your pill free week you will get your period, but as I experienced this can very much depend on the person.
So why did I change to the implant, because at the time I got a little complacent and forgot to take the odd one or two and my periods became a little irregular (or so I thought at the time). So the doctor recommended the immplant to me.
I may see if the implant is listed on here so I can review it seperately, but incase it isn't I'll give you a few of the differences to this pill (that I have experienced). The first syptoms I got were a weight increase (of a good stone +) with absolutely no change to my diet or exercise/general routine, also my periods stopped completely. In fact I didn't have a period for about a year. But in the last year I have had awful periods on this (one for a full month!!!) and now my period comes when it wants usually for about a day - 2 days every fortnight.Now on the Dianette I experienced that my periods didn't come at regular times such as 6 weeks between periods and then maybe 3 weeks between. So I found it very hard to monitor (due to the fact that it was my first contraceptive and before that my periods had been practically to the day predictable). In hinesight I would suggest that this was only a slight inconveniance - along with actually remembering to take the pill when you are supposed to.
I have an appointment with my GP next Monday, and fingers crossed she will agree to help me get this awful rod out of my arm and put my back on this again. I will update the review hopefully soon to tell you my experiences.As long as your GP agrees I would recommend that you give this a try, particularly if you have problems with your skin. It may just be the things that helps, in nearly all cases of people using it (that I have come across personally) it has made at least a reasonable improvement.
I woule be interested as well as to how everybody else has gotten on with this pill. Has anybody expereinced any of the stated side effects with it?
