Help ## Please consult a ob because they might prescribe you an menstrational drug that you can drink for 5 days and after that you can start to take pills again ## Can I take diane-35 on the 4th day of menstrual bleeding? My doctor prescribed it for irregular / late periods. Today is tuesday and in my pack the first tablet is on friday. Should i take friday's tablet today?

I have been taking diane 35 and I have a problem. I started taking my pack April 17th so if you would count it should finsh on May 7th but I saw on my pack I still have one left and its may 8 already. I dont remember if I forgot to take one day. Please can you help mw on this ## Hello, May! How are you? Apparently you did forget to take one, since this is a 21 day pack. It would be best to use a backup method of contraception, until you've taken active tablets again for 7 days in a row, unless your doctor directs otherwise. The FDA lists possible side effects as including dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with? ## What if I took the Saturday pill instead of Friday? Mistake.. ## Hello. Can you pls help me to ans this question? ...

Hello, I I was prescribed to take diane or althea for my PCOS, and it says that I need to start taking the pills on the first day of my period. I haven't had my period for almost 3 months now. I am not pregnant, I had my menstruation a month before the diagnosis and had a transvaginal ultrasound. So when can I take diane if I don't have my period yet? ## Hi rmc. I have the same problem as of now. I have PCOS and was advised to take the first pill on the very first day of my mens but it hasn't arrived for 2 months now. So I'm really confused on what to do now? Should I wait for my menstruation to arrive then take the pill or just take the pill without mens? ## Is it safe?

Hi, I took the diane pills on the second day of my period. Is it safe to have unprotected intercourse on the 6th day of my pills? Thanks a lot. ## Hi, ask ko lang po before iba gamit kong pills yung pinaka last pakete is unang mens ko then next 2nd mens day ko is nag start nako ng diane okay lang po bayun? ## No, you should wait until the 8th day for this medication to reach its full level of efficacy, according to the most recent NIH findings. The typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irregular bleeding, mood swings, irregular bleeding, and PMS-like symptoms. Are you on any other medications? ## Hi. Nag start po uminom ng diane pills last May 9th after ko maubos ang 21 pills nag hintay ako ng reglahin ako this tuesday i have spot na may regl...

Hi im CeeJay.. Im taking diane 35 for almost a year now.. And just finish my last pack. 2weeks ago? And until now i didn't start taking again. If i will take another set.. Is it possible for me to get pregnant on the 4th day of pill again? ## Hello, CeeJay! How are you? Yes, if you skipped a few weeks, then there can be a risk of pregnancy, especially if you didn't start it on the first or second day of your period. If you start at any point later in your cycle, you should use backup protection for the first full 7 days. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, spotting and irritability. Is there anything else I can help with? ## hi Im ella.Almost 2 yrs already been taking up contraceptive pills but now seems so...

Hi I started taking Diane 35 a month and a half ago and within the first week my acne started getting worse, it's not at the worst it has been in years. I have also experience severe anxiety and depression as well as a lot of shakiness. Is this just the initial breakout or should I stop taking the pill altogether ? ## Hello, Devon! How are you? These types of side effects can be normal for the first 3 months, or so, as reported by the FDA. You may also experience headache, irritability, PMS-like symptoms and spotting. However, if they get severe, or don't go away after a few months, you should consult your doctor as you may need to try a different oral contraceptive. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, it's my first time taking Diane 35 pills. I already finished the 21-day pack of tablets and now it's my 4th day of being tablet-free but still didn't get my period. I didn't skip any tablet but sometimes I'm taking the tablets late by 1 or 2hrs. Is there any possibility that I'm pregnant? And if this is just a side effect, should I start taking another pack after finishing the 7-day rest even i didn't get my period yet or should I wait for my period to come and finish before starting a new diane pack? Hoping for some clarified answers. Thank you. ## If you didn't miss any tablets, then there isn't much of a risk of pregnancy, according to the NIH and you should continue taking them as instructed. According to the side effects listed by the NIH, so...

Hi! I've been using althea pills for over a month and i just started my second set of pills yesterday after the 7 day break. I've noticed that i lost weight (which i'm not happy with since i'm trying to gain some) and my zits were more evident now than before i started taking pills. I'm not expecting to have smooth skin and gain weight immediately after a month of taking it, but is it normal to look worse than before? Is it safe to switch over to diane 35 as early as tomorrow even if i'm not yet done with my second pack? Or should i wait til i've taken them all up first? Please enlighten me, i'm a newbie. ## Hello, Jessica! How are you? It may take 3 months for such side effects to start wearing off, before you know if your skin will clear up and if your ...

Finished my menstraution 3 days ago, and I just bought Diane35, can I start taking this tablet or shall I wait next month and take this "1st day of mens" sorry to ask as it's my first time... ## Hello, Claire! How are you? No need to apologize for asking, that's why this website exists! :-) You can start it now, if you want and your doctor approves, but since you're not on your period, it will take 7 days to become effective and prevent pregnancy. So, if you engage in intercourse during the first week, you'll need to use some other form of protection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability and PMS-like symptoms. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hello good day i will ask question i'm a f...

Oh yes, it may still be a side effect, some women do not experience periods, while taking oral contraceptives, some may occasionally skip and some may experience irregular bleeding, as reported by the U.S. FDA.

I am taking Diane 35 for years because of my irregular menstruation and PCOS. I am single and 36 years old. However, I absentmindedly took another pack after I had the pack for this month (Wed) because I thought its already 8th day already (Fri). Meaning I took two days after I finished a pack. I have not had my period until Monday. I just realized it now, its Saturday. There's nothing stating like that case on the instructions and I am worried I will have fluctuating menstruation because of that incident. ## Hi po, nag start ako gumamit ng pills last month, first day ko ng mens.
