Dianette

For my first update I will begin with talking about this little pill.

After explaining my problems with hirsutism and acne my doctor recommend trying this, an 'anti-androgen' version of the pill that is often prescribed to women with PCOS. According to the information pack that it comes with, I should be able to see improvements in my skin within weeks with more improvements and a reduction in hair growth in a few months. I have been taking the pill now for nearly 3 weeks and the results are a mixed bunch. Some of the side effects do seem to have hit, my breasts are a little sore and I do seem to be getting down a lot at the moment. Although I am trying to keep positive, and so far have not had any extreme mood swings like some of the women posting their experiences have had... so onto the positives! Firstly thumbs up to the better skin, it does seem to be improving, especially on my face. I also seem to be experiencing slightly reduced hair growth, on my legs (although I have recently purchased a new epilator so its hard to tell which to credit - more on that later) but particularly with regard to facial hair. Its a little too early to tell, but maybe it is working? Or perhaps it is just blind optimism, time will tell... ^^
