Hi Guys,

Im new to this website, I just came across it whilst googling for some info one the pill i have been prescribed today.
I have been to the doctor today and she gave me Dianette for my extremely irregular and unpredictable periods. So tonight I have taken my first pill as instructed even though I did not come on my period today but because im so irregular I dont know when that would be so i went ahead and started my pack today.
This is the first time ive ever been on the pill and I have spent most of today researching and reading reviews of Dianette. I have now got myself totally paranoid about blood clots, weight gain depression and all the rest of it but the thing thats freaking me out the most is the blood clot stories I have read today.
So basically im just looking for any advice/support about taking this pill, i dont mean how to take it, i think ive got that already but I mean how to keep healthy on the pill avoid blood clots and stuff.
Also any stories from personal experience you may have. I know everyone is different but ive got myself so freaked out today i could just do with hearing some of your opinions!
Thanks for reading (if you did!!)

I was on the pill on and off for about 12 years, never had any problems, well, my total drop in my interest for sex was probably due to that, but it came back when I went off the pill for good last year.

There's risks to everything we do, try not to read too much about it. The internet is good and bad for this.

If you start noticing anything too crazy, go back to the Dr and switch brands. Sometimes it is trial and error finding something that agrees with your body.

I have been on the pill.I stopped taking it due to stomach aches and on occasions I was getting dizzy.it affects others differently,but typically its a good medication to be on to balance things out down there,and just for safe sex.

Haha,well I was bit worried myself,but its really nothing.It just depends on the type of BC you are on,you how your body responds to it.If you doctor put you on that kind,chances are you'll be just fine.The only thing I've noticed that it does to many woman is weight gain,it can give you a mean appetite,but just watch the scale from time to time,excercise is need be,and your set to go.
