Dianette Pill

I have been on Dianette for 2 months now, I have saw on the leaflet that you have to come off it after 6 months of taking it. I am on it for contraception and for Acne, Would It be okay to go off it for 1 month after the 6 months are over or will I have to wait longer. I would like to continue taking Dianette since it has worked well on my skin. Unless anyone else knows or has experienced good results with another contraceptive pill?

I've tried a few pills: ovranette, femodette (both combined) and progesterone only- I'm not entirely sure what type of pill Dianette is/why you'd have to come off it after 6 months?

Overanette and Femodette both have worked for me, however I turned into a monster on progesterone only- saying that my friend has the implant with no ill effects, although the acclimatisation is annoying I'd try a couple and see what works best for you
I've been on it for 2 years nearly. After another 2 years I'll be taking 6 months off it.

Last time I took Dianette for 3 months, I then took a 5 month break.

You'll need to talk to your GP. I do think you'll have to wait a little longer than 1 month though.
Hey guys, would love to hear from someone how long it took to clear your acne on Dianette?!

I'm currently on the end of month 2 and i've had good spells at points, however i'm currently on the 7 day break of month two and my skins looks terrible :frown: I know that so many people have had such amazing results from Dianette clearing their acne in month three however I really feel like I need some encouragement! So fed up of waiting!
