I'm on Dianette, and it's the worst thing ever. Seriously, it gives me constant headaches and pain down there.
So I have one month left, and then I want to change it.. so I'd like to know what pills you'd recommend and have used
Oh, and I'm not really interested in how good it is as a contraceptive, I'm mostly after regular periods and no pain, if that makes any difference
Thanks xo

Unfortunatly I am switching pills next month as it has gotten a bit too pricey for me now Probably microgestin as that appears to be the generic form of it.
Personally, i dont seem to have any side effects from it - and thats not just cuz ive been taking it for so long, i had none when i started as well - and generally quite a good pill!
cant say that ive had any experience with any others tho to compare, but would definately recommend it.
went straight onto the next packet to hold off my period because it's exams. yet it is still kinda happening. sorry for being gross but damn you body.
My friend's on that.. She said it gave her a 3 week period :yuck: I think I'll avoid that one, haha..
I think I'm going to ask for Yasmin, since I've read about it before too
Thanks
I was on Microgynon 30 and it was fine. And when I came off it I didn't have a period for like 5 months! And have only had one in the last 8 months. Ah well
I'm on cerazette also. i love it so much, no periods/cramps/anything. The only thing is when i come off it, will my periods return to normal, but i do get 'twinges' .. kinda small cramps if i forget to take it for a day or two (not in a relationship so it doesn't matter) so i think i'll be ok.
I have been on microgynon and another combined one that I can't remember the name of. Microgynon did wonders for my skin but it gave me chest pains. Still don't know why because the docs couldn't find anything wrong. And the next one worked ok for about 6 months but then it just made me crazy hungry all the time and I started putting on weight. So then I changed to cerazette since i didn't seem to be reacting to all the extra oestrogen very well and it's been fine and absolutely no periods!
If you think its crap go to the drs and tell them, im on it and its perfect for me, but your hormones that are present naturally are going to be different, so if you hate it, tell your drs and they can do something about it, it might take a couple of tries to find the right one for you, but its better than being on something that makes you feel shit
Whenever I've tried this I've just had the period anyway, it's never stopped it coming.
Ha, see I now have the opposite problem and have had 1 period in 8 months since coming off it!
Just shows how drugs really do affect people in totally different ways.
