I’m going to look for something much milder. All I know is that I’ve read way too many horror stories about Diane 35 to even consider it.
I went through every hormone test imaginable because of the hair growth issues.
After all those blood draws—mid-cycle, end of cycle, whatever—my specialist at the Mayo Clinic basically told me Diane was the best bet for tackling both the acne and the hair.
I'm planning on a six-month course. Things improved significantly by month four, but I don't see where this leads. The second I stop, everything will just crawl back.
That's what the doctor told me during the initial testing, too.
Everything else is fine. Hormones are stable.
Ovaries are fine.
